Free ATS Resume Scanner
Compare your resume to any job listing and get instant feedback on keywords, formatting, and ATS compatibility. Know exactly what to fix before you apply.
Discover must-have keywords
When you submit your resume, it goes into an ATS database. Hiring managers search for resumes by typing keywords into the ATS search bar. Our scanner compares your resume to the job description and tells you exactly which keywords are most important — including hard skills, soft skills, job title, education, and certifications.
Get expert recruiter tips
Our resume scanner was built with input from professional recruiters. Get expert tips to ensure your resume avoids common formatting issues and stands out in your job search. Receive feedback on job level match, measurable results, resume tone, and more.
Find formatting mistakes fast
Incorrect formatting can confuse an ATS, causing it to misread or overlook important information. Our scanner checks your layout, fonts, file type, contact information, and section headings to ensure your resume is properly parsed by any ATS.
Increase your Match Rate
After scanning your resume, you'll see a Match Rate score showing how well your resume aligns with the job description. As you add the suggested keywords and fix formatting issues, your Match Rate increases — so you know exactly when your resume is ready to submit.
