Resume Scanner
Running an ATS scan, reading your score, locked sections and scan errors.
Getting Started
The scanner reads your resume the way recruiter screening software does. It gives you a score out of 100, then lists what is missing or weak, section by section, so you know what to fix before you apply.
How do I scan my resume for an ATS score?Most askedOpen the ATS Score Checker, drop in a PDF or Word file, verify your mobile number with the OTP, and wait a few seconds. The report opens on its own when the scan finishes.
Which file types and sizes can I upload?Upload a PDF, DOC or DOCX file under 5 MB. The text inside must be real text, so scanned or photographed resumes and password protected PDFs cannot be read.
Your Report
The score is out of 100. Above 80 is Strong, 60 to 79 is Average and below 60 is Needs work. The report also shows how many points you are away from 80 and how many fixes are waiting.
What does each section of the report mean?The left side of the report lists your sections. Home is the summary, then parse rate, impact, clarity, style, sections, skills and keywords. Each one holds checks with an issue count you can open.
Free And Full Report
Your first scan and your score are free, along with Home, ATS Parse Rate, Clarity and Style. Impact, Sections, Skills and ATS Keywords are locked until you unlock the full report or go Gold.
How do I unlock the full report?PaidClick any locked section, or the unlock card that appears over the report. Choose the scanner pack or Gold, pay, and the page reloads with every section open.
How do I download or email my ATS report?PaidOn an unlocked report, use Download PDF or Email it to me in the top bar. On a free report both buttons open the Gold upgrade instead of delivering the file.
Re-scanning
Press Re-scan resume in the report sidebar and upload your corrected file. Each re-scan uses one scan credit, or is included if you are on Gold.
Where do I find my earlier scan reports?Your latest report opens from VIEW LAST REPORT on the ATS Score Checker. Every earlier scan is listed under Recent Work in your premium tools page.
Can I check my resume against one job description?The scanner scores your resume on its own, without a job description. To see how well it matches one posting, open Check & Tailor in the Resume Builder and paste the job description there.
How do I fix the issues the report found?Press Resume Builder in the report sidebar. Your resume is rebuilt as an editable document, so you can fix the issues the report listed and export a corrected file.
Problems
A scan normally finishes in seconds. If the progress screen stays put, reload the report page. If it still fails, upload the file again from the checker.
My resume could not be read: what each message meansThe scanner refuses a file it cannot read properly and tells you why. Most cases are fixed by exporting a clean text based PDF with your contact details at the top.
The unlock popup keeps appearing on my reportThe unlock card appears because your report is a free one. Closing it hides it for a while, and on a phone it comes back. Unlocking the report or going Gold stops it for good.
