What this checks — and why it matters
Applicant tracking systems (ATS) parse your resume into fields, and recruiters skim the result in seconds. This checker scores the signals both care about most:
Action verbs — strong resumes lead bullets with verbs like led, built, drove, cut, launched, not passive phrases like "responsible for." Quantified results — numbers (%, $, counts) make impact concrete and are the single biggest differentiator between a weak and strong bullet. Contact completeness — whether your email, phone and LinkedIn are present. Length & density — too short reads thin; too long buries your wins. Section structure — clear Experience, Education, and Skills headings help the ATS file you correctly.
Frequently asked
- Is this an accurate ATS score?
- It's a rule-based estimate of ATS-style signals, not a score from any employer's system.
- Do you store my resume?
- No. The scoring runs entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
- What's the difference from the paid Scorer?
- This checker provides feedback on pasted resume text. The AI Resume Scorer accepts your existing resume and provides an AI letter grade from A to F with a detailed, role-targeted breakdown. The grade and full breakdown are free; an optional rewrite costs $19.99. Resume templates are separate products to review before purchase.
