Beat the ATS Bots and Reach Recruiters
Before a recruiter ever sees your resume, it has to pass through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), software employers use to screen candidates against job requirements.
Our free ATS Resume Checker uses proven best practices and smart technology to identify issues, missing elements, and formatting problems that may prevent your resume from getting through.
How Our ATS Resume Checker can help you optimize your Resume

How to Make Your Resume ATS-Compliant
Mirror the job description by including relevant skills, tools, and experience using the same wording where possible.
Avoid complex layouts, graphics, or unusual fonts. A clean one column format helps ATS read your resume correctly.
Use metrics, percentages, or results to clearly demonstrate your contributions and achievements.
Ensure your resume has clear headings for contact details, summary, skills, experience, and education.
Typos and grammar mistakes can lower your ATS score and reduce credibility.
Most companies use applicant tracking systems to screen resumes before a recruiter reviews them. These systems scan for specific formatting, keywords, and required sections, filtering out resumes that do not meet their criteria.
Optimizing for ATS helps ensure your resume reaches a human reviewer and improves your chances of landing an interview.
