How it helps

Stop guessing why you're not hearing back.

Get past the first gate

Most applications are screened by software first. Make sure yours gets through to a person.

Know before you apply

See what a parser sees, and what it misses — and fix it on your terms, not after a silent rejection.

Scan and fix in one place

Understand the score and rewrite your résumé in the same tool — no copy-pasting between apps.

What we check

Five categories. One honest score.

We audit parser-friendliness, structure, content, skills and length — not job-description keyword matching.

01

Parseability & layout

Can an ATS actually open and read your file? We catch multi-column layouts, tables, graphics, headers/footers and scanned PDFs that scramble parsing.

02

Sections & structure

Headline, experience, education, skills and contact details — all present, complete, and labelled the way parsers expect.

03

Content & impact

A strong summary, action verbs and quantified results — plus an AI review of clarity, grammar, tone and vague phrasing.

04

Skills & keywords

Skills written as discrete, searchable terms — with enough depth and no long-winded sentences.

05

Brevity & consistency

The right length and consistent formatting — not too thin, not padded, and no keyword stuffing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What's an ATS, exactly?

An applicant tracking system is the software employers use to collect, parse and filter résumés. If yours doesn't parse cleanly, a recruiter may never see it.

Do you match my résumé to a specific job?

No. We audit how parser-friendly, well-structured and well-written your résumé is — not how well it matches one job description's keywords.

How accurate is my score?

Treat it as a well-informed estimate. Real ATS behaviour varies by employer and software, so we focus on the fundamentals that help across the board.

What can I upload?

A PDF up to 5 MB. Selectable text parses best — scanned or image-only PDFs are flagged because an ATS can't read them either.

Is my résumé kept private?

Yes. Your file is processed to generate your score, never sold or shared, and removed on your terms.
