What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is software that employers use to collect and sort job applications. Recruiters often search it for specific skills, so a resume that leaves out the words in the job post can be harder to find.
What this checker looks at
- Keywords from the job post that appear in your resume, and those that do not.
- Contact details, and clear Experience, Education and Skills headings.
- Numbers in your achievements, strong action verbs and filler phrases.
- Whether the length is sensible.
The score is ToolPouch's own guide. No checker can see the score a particular employer's software would give you. Use it to find gaps, and never add a skill you do not have.
Questions
Is my resume uploaded or stored?
No. It is read inside your browser and is gone when you close the page.
What score should I aim for?
There is no official pass mark. Focus on adding the missing words that are true for you and fixing the failed checks.
Why was no text found in my PDF?
Your PDF may be a scanned image. Many tracking systems struggle with those too, so export a text-based PDF from Word or Google Docs.
