Before you check your résumé
What does the ATS score measure?+
The free Résumé Quality score measures evidence and impact, clarity, career completeness, professional positioning, and observable ATS structure. Role Match is a separate job-specific score that evaluates supported requirements, relevant evidence, terminology, role positioning, and screening gates.
Do I need a job description or LinkedIn profile?+
No. Upload a PDF, DOC, or DOCX résumé. That is the only input required for this general ATS readiness check.
Is the résumé checker free?+
Yes. Upload and analyze your résumé at no cost. Start a 3-day Pro trial to open the editor. Card required, then $49 once for lifetime access.
Can this reproduce an employer's ATS?+
No. ATS products and employer configurations vary. This is a practical diagnostic based on extractable content and established résumé guidance, not a score produced by an employer's system.
Can the checker see visual formatting?+
The checker evaluates the text and document structure it can extract. It does not claim to detect every visual detail, such as an image or layout element that is absent from that extraction.
What happens to my uploaded résumé?+
After a successful check, the original file is retained for 30 days for restricted support, security, troubleshooting, and service reliability access, then permanently deleted. Anonymous results and structured continuation data expire after 24 hours unless you create an account.
