ATS Resume Score Checker
See why your resume isn't getting shortlisted
Most mid-size and large Indian employers run resumes through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) before a human ever reads them. If your resume doesn't contain the keywords the job description asks for, it can be filtered out automatically — no matter how qualified you actually are. This tool compares your resume text against any job description and scores the match.

Paste your resume and a job description side by side, and get your match score, missing keywords, and specific fixes in seconds — entirely in your browser.

Copy the complete job description into the job-description field, then paste the plain text of your current resume into the resume field. Include your headline, summary, skills, experience, projects, education, and certifications so the comparison has enough context. Read the score as a diagnostic rather than a pass-or-fail judgement. Start with the missing keywords that genuinely describe your experience, then add them naturally to the correct resume section. Use the structure suggestions to replace dense paragraphs, unclear headings, or duty-only bullet points. Run the comparison again after editing and check that every change remains truthful. A strong application uses the employer's language where it is accurate while still sounding like a clear, human resume.
Formula & Calculation Method
The checker extracts meaningful words and phrases from the job description, removes common filler words, and compares the resulting terms with the resume text. It gives more weight to repeated or multi-word skills, then combines keyword coverage with structure signals such as standard section headings and measurable achievements. Action verbs and quantified outcomes provide additional quality signals. The score is an approximate compatibility percentage produced in the browser; it does not reproduce any employer's private ATS model. Different systems parse columns, tables, icons, PDFs, and abbreviations differently, so keep a clean text-first layout even when the score is high. No resume content is uploaded by this tool.
What the Checker Looks At
- Keyword coverage — how many of the important terms in the job description (skills, tools, phrases) also appear in your resume.
- Structure signals — whether your resume has clearly labelled sections like Skills, Experience, and Projects, which real ATS parsers rely on.
- Quantified impact — whether your bullet points include numbers, percentages, or measurable outcomes, which both ATS ranking and human reviewers respond to.
- Action language — whether you're using impact verbs ("led," "built," "reduced," "shipped") instead of passive duty descriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is an ATS, exactly?
- An Applicant Tracking System is software that screens and ranks resumes before a human sees them, usually based on keyword matches and structural formatting.
- Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
- No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
- What score should I aim for?
- 75+ generally clears most keyword filters. Below 60 usually means missing keywords, or formatting the parser can't read — tables, columns, and embedded images are common culprits.
- Does a high score guarantee an interview?
- No — it's an estimate of keyword/structure compatibility, not a hiring decision. Actual ATS software varies by company and still involves human review after screening.
