What is an ATS resume checker?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies and 75% of all mid-size employers to automatically filter job applications. If your resume doesn't match the keywords and formatting requirements an ATS expects, it's automatically rejected — before a human ever reads it.

An ATS resume checker analyzes your resume against the same criteria these systems use: keyword density, formatting compatibility, section structure, and job description alignment. HireScan AI goes further — it simulates a recruiter's 3-phase psychological reaction to give you both ATS and human feedback in one report.

How accurate is the ATS score?

Our AI is trained on real ATS behavior patterns from tools like Taleo, Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday. The score gives a strong directional signal — the specific keywords and formatting issues flagged are actionable and accurate.

What resume formats are supported?

Paste plain text or upload a .txt file. For best ATS results in real applications, avoid PDF files with complex formatting — plain text is what ATS parsers process most accurately.

How do I improve my ATS score?

The three highest-impact changes: (1) add keywords from the job description, (2) use a clean, single-column layout, (3) quantify your achievements with numbers. Our report tells you exactly which to prioritize.
