A high resume score isn't just a vanity metricβit directly correlates with your chances of getting an interview. Our algorithm analyzes the same factors that recruiters and ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) look for. Here's how to optimize each section of your resume for maximum impact.
Recruiters love numbers. Instead of saying "Managed sales," say "Increased sales by 20%."
75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before a human sees them.
Start every bullet point with a strong action verb.
Generic resumes get generic results (rejections).
Our scoring system evaluates your resume across four key dimensions:
A score above 70 is considered "Good" and indicates your resume is ready for applications. A score above 80 is "Excellent" and puts you in the top 10% of candidates.
Stick to a clean, single-column layout. Use standard headings. Include relevant keywords from the job description. Avoid graphics, tables, and headers/footers.
Yes, but choose a simple one. Many "creative" templates with two columns or graphics confuse ATS software. Our free templates are ATS-optimized.
Resume standards vary significantly across countries. If you're applying to global companies or planning to work abroad, here's what you need to know:
Our ATS (Applicant Tracking System) checker analyzes your resume for key factors that automated systems look for: keyword optimization, proper formatting, section completeness, and readability. We scan for 50+ parameters and provide a score out of 100 with specific improvement suggestions.
A resume score of 70+ is considered good for most positions. Scores above 85 indicate an excellent resume that should pass most ATS systems. If your score is below 60, significant improvements are needed. Our tool provides specific actionable feedback to increase your score.
Over 75% of large companies use ATS to filter resumes before human review. If your resume isn't ATS-compatible, it may be rejected automatically regardless of your qualifications. Key ATS requirements: simple formatting, standard section headings, relevant keywords, and no graphics/tables.
PDF is the safest format for ATS compatibility as it preserves formatting across all systems. DOCX is also widely accepted. Avoid image-based PDFs, complex layouts, or formats like ODT. Our checker supports both PDF and DOCX uploads.
Update your resume every 3-6 months or whenever you gain new skills, complete projects, or change roles. Before applying to any job, tailor your resume to match the job description keywords. Our resume checker can be used unlimited times to test different versions.
Your resume has less than 6 seconds to impress a recruiter, and that's *if* it gets past the robots first. The **Resume Score Checker** is your personal career audit tool. It simulates the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies to filter candidates. By analyzing your resume against industry benchmarks, formatting rules, and keyword optimization strategies, this tool gives you a reality check on your job application chances. It takes the guesswork out of "Why am I not getting calls?" and gives you actionable data to fix it.
Copy your resume text into the analyzer.
Paste the JD of the job you are applying for (optional but recommended).
Get an instant score out of 100 based on industry standards.
Follow the specific recommendations to boost your score.
The checker scans your resume text for three critical pillars: 1. **Readability**: Does it use standard fonts, bullet points, and clear Section Headings? (e.g., "Experience" vs "Where I've Been"). 2. **Impact**: It counts "Action Verbs" (Managed, Created, Increased) vs passive language (Responsible for, Worked on). 3. **Completeness**: It ensures you haven't missed critical info like contact details, LinkedIn URL, or Education dates. It then generates a weighted score and a checklist of fixes.
**Pass the ATS**: Ensure your resume is machine-readable so it actually reaches a human. **Quantify Your Value**: Forces you to focus on achievements (numbers) rather than just duties. **Spot Errors**: Catches missing sections or bad formatting formatting that you might be "nose-blind" to.
**New Grads**: optimizing a thin resume to look professional. **Career Changers**: pivoting skills to match new industry keywords. **Senior Professionals**: compressing 20 years of experience into a punchy, relevant document.
Uses text-processing algorithms to identify common resume patterns and anti-patterns. It references a database of thousands of successful resumes to benchmark your content density and formatting choices.
Tailor your resume for every single application. Use the scanner to match the specific JD keywords.
Remove photos, icons, and multi-column layouts if you are applying online - they confuse ATS parsers.
Use standard section headers: 'Experience', 'Education', 'Skills'. Don't get creative here.
Focus on results: 'Increased sales by 20%' is better than 'Worked in sales'.
