What this check measures — and its limits
The rule score checks section-related terms, English action verbs, number patterns, text length, selected spelling patterns and optional job-description keyword overlap. These are writing heuristics, not a certified international ATS benchmark.
It does not validate every employer’s parsing engine, visual reading order, professional credentials or hiring criteria. English rules may misread other languages. A missing section is a suggestion to review, not proof that your CV is unsuitable.
Follow the employer’s file instructions. Provider limits differ: Greenhouse documents its own parsing limitations. Our 4 MB upload limit is specific to this tool.
Accessibility work follows WCAG 2.2 guidance for labels and error recovery. This is not a claim of audited conformance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CV or resume ATS checker?
A CV ATS checker reviews resume text for section structure, relevant keywords and content issues. CV and resume refer to the document you upload; this tool provides improvement guidance rather than reproducing an employer’s screening system.
How do I use this ATS tester?
Upload a PDF, DOC, DOCX or TXT file, or paste your resume text. Optionally add a target job description, then run the check and review the findings.
Does an ATS score predict an interview?
No. The score is a tool-specific guide, not a hiring prediction or a universal passing grade. Employers use different systems and criteria. Review suggestions and add only skills and experience you can support.
Why add a job description?
A job description gives the resume ATS checker context for relevant keywords. Without one, use the check as a general review of your CV rather than a match to a particular role.
Is the ATS checker free?
A limited free check is available without an account. The remaining allowance is shown beside the check button. Signed-in plans have their own published limits.
