Why ATS compliance matters
Most large companies route resumes through software before a human reviewer sees them.
The parsing reality
Resumes fail when software cannot read multi-column layouts, heavy visuals, or non-standard subheadings. If the parser drops your experience, you don't exist in the system.
The keyword filter
Recruiters filter thousands of candidates using Boolean searches. If your resume uses different terminology than the job posting, you'll be hidden in the ranked results.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS resume checker scores how well your CV is likely to perform in Applicant Tracking Systems — the software employers use to collect, filter, and rank applications. AutoCV analyzes structure, keywords, formatting signals, and section depth, then surfaces clear fixes you can apply before you apply.
Is this ATS checker free?
Yes. Upload a PDF resume and get an instant ATS-style score and actionable feedback at no cost. Creating a full saved project in AutoCV is separate, but running checks from this page is free.
How accurate is an ATS score?
No automated score can guarantee what every employer’s system will do — ATS products differ. Our checker uses consistent, explainable rules (sections, readability, keyword alignment, and proof signals) so the score is stable and actionable, not a black box. Use it as a strong draft review, then tailor for each role.
How can I improve my ATS score?
Align your resume with the job description, use standard section headings, keep layout parser-friendly, and quantify outcomes. Paste a target job description here for tighter keyword matching, then apply the prioritized fixes in your results — from missing sections to weak bullets.
What file types are supported?
This tool accepts PDF resumes only. PDF is the most common format for applications and keeps formatting consistent. Export your CV as PDF from Word, Google Docs, or AutoCV before uploading.
Do I need to sign up to use the checker?
No account is required to run a check from this page. Upload your PDF and run the analysis. If you want to build or store a full resume in AutoCV, you can start from the CV builder when you are ready.
Why is my resume rejected by ATS?
Common reasons include missing role keywords, unclear section structure, dense or unusual formatting, weak evidence of impact, and incomplete contact or skills blocks. ATS filters often prioritize scannable structure and relevance before a recruiter reads the full story.
Can I use this for any job description?
Yes. The optional job description field helps match your resume against the language of a specific posting. For generic checks, leave it blank; for a targeted role, paste the posting text to sharpen keyword and fit signals.
