What the resume checker evaluates

📇 Contact completeness

Email, phone, LinkedIn URL, location — recruiters skip resumes missing any of these.

📋 Section structure

Experience, Education, Skills, Summary — the 4 sections every ATS expects. Missing one = auto-reject on some platforms.

💪 Bullet strength

Action verbs + quantifiable achievements. Weak bullets (<8 words, no numbers) drop your score.

🔍 Keyword density

Industry-standard terms per role. Missing keywords = ATS filters you out before a human sees the resume.

🎨 Formatting quality

No tables, no images, no fancy columns. Standard fonts. Clean structure that machines can parse.

🤖 ATS compatibility

Machine-parseability check — the same test Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and iCIMS run before a recruiter sees your file.

Why 75% of resumes never reach a recruiter

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) parse every resume before a human sees it. If your file has any of the following issues, the ATS rejects it silently:

Our resume checker catches these issues in 30 seconds — before you send another application into the ATS black hole. Fix them once, apply to 100 jobs.

Frequently asked questions

How does the resume checker work?
Upload your resume (PDF, DOCX, DOC, or TXT). Our checker parses your document instantly, evaluates 6 dimensions (contact completeness, section structure, bullet strength, keyword density, formatting quality, ATS compatibility), and returns a score plus a detailed report in under 5 seconds.
Is the resume checker free?
Yes — 100% free, no signup required. Check as many resumes as you want. Your file is processed in your browser and never stored on our servers.
Do I need a job description?
No. Unlike our ATS Score Checker (which measures fit for a specific job), the Resume Checker gives you general feedback on your resume's structure, quality, and ATS compatibility — independent of any target role.
