Why use an ATS resume checker?

Improve match rate

Identify missing or weak keywords from the job description and close the gaps that cost interviews.

Fix parsing issues

Spot tables, multi-columns, image-only PDFs, and other layout pitfalls that break ATS parsing.

Stay concise & readable

Get readability and length signals so recruiters can skim your impact in seconds.

ATS-friendly formatting checklist

  • Use a single column layout; avoid tables and text boxes for core sections.
  • Stick to common fonts and clear headings: Summary, Skills, Experience, Education.
  • Export a text-based PDF or upload DOCX (avoid scanned PDFs or image-only resumes).
  • Spell out acronyms at least once (e.g., “Applicant Tracking System (ATS)”).
  • Keep to 1–2 pages unless senior; use bullets with measurable outcomes.
