ATS checker FAQ

What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System is software many employers use to scan and filter resumes before a person reads them. An ATS-friendly resume uses clear sections, real text (not images) and the keywords from the job advert.

Is this checker free and private?

Yes — completely free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser. Your resume and the job ad are never uploaded or stored on a server.

Do everyday jobs use an ATS?

Many everyday jobs hire through application forms, walk-ins and agencies rather than an ATS. But for larger employers, office, retail head-office and healthcare roles an ATS-friendly resume helps — and clear keywords never hurt.

Why is my keyword match low?

It means your resume is missing words the job advert uses. Add the real skills and terms from the ad that genuinely apply to you — never invent experience you don't have.
