ATS Match Checker
Recruiters screen hundreds of resumes per posting. This checker measures how well your resume covers the job description’s keywords and structure — the two things screening systems actually rank on. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.

How to use the ATS Match Checker
More text = better keyword detection. Include responsibilities, requirements, and the “nice to have” list.
Use the plain-text export from the Resume Builder, or paste from your document. Formatting doesn’t matter here.
Treat the number as a relative guide. A score under 60 usually means the resume wasn’t written for this job yet.
Weave the missing keywords into your summary, skills and experience — naturally, only the ones that honestly apply.
Keyword match is not everything
Research (Enhancv 2025) found most ATS don’t auto-reject on content — they rank for humans. Match keywords, but never stuff them.
Mirror exact phrases
If the ad says “agile delivery”, write “agile delivery”, not “fast shipping”. Exact-phrase overlap scores higher.
Re-check per application
Each posting has different priorities. Run this checker again for every serious application — it takes 30 seconds.
