What is an ATS?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to filter resumés before a human ever sees them. Over 90% of large companies use ATS software. If your resumé isn't formatted correctly or is missing key sections, it gets rejected automatically, even if you're qualified for the job.
How does the ATS checker work?
The checker analyzes your resumé text for 9 critical factors that ATS systems look for: proper length, contact information, key sections (experience, education, skills), bullet point formatting, action verbs, measurable results, ATS-safe formatting, and filler phrase detection. Your resumé is scored instantly. No data is stored or sent anywhere.
Tips to pass ATS screening
- Use standard section headers: "Experience," "Education," "Skills"
- Avoid tables, images, headers/footers, and text boxes
- Include keywords from the job description
- Use a clean, single-column layout
- Start bullet points with action verbs (managed, developed, increased)
- Add measurable results with numbers and percentages
- Keep it to 1-2 pages (300-700 words for one page)
