Question 1

What is an ATS and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Applicant tracking systems help employers store, search, and review applications. Clear headings, readable text, complete contact details, and job-relevant language make a resume easier for these systems and recruiters to interpret.

Question 2

How does the ATS resume checker work?

Accepted Answer

The checker reviews your resume across formatting, keyword coverage, section completeness, contact information, and common parsing risks. Its readiness result is directional guidance, not a prediction from a specific employer's ATS.

Question 3

What score should I aim for?

Accepted Answer

Treat the score as a directional checklist, not a hiring guarantee. Fix critical parsing and contact issues first, then compare the resume with the actual job description for a more useful result.

Question 4

Does this tool upload my resume to a server?

Accepted Answer

Resume contents are analyzed locally in your browser and are not uploaded by the current tool. The site still requests its pages and app files, and the hosting provider may keep standard security and reliability logs.

Question 5

Can I check my resume against a specific job description?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a text-based PDF, DOCX, or TXT resume, or paste the resume text, then paste a job description. The tool analyzes keyword matches and shows which important terms are missing.
