What Our ATS Checker Analyzes
Formatting & Layout
ATS systems struggle with creative layouts. We check every formatting element that could break automated parsing.
- Margin, font, and spacing compliance
- Table and multi-column detection
- Header/footer content analysis
- Image and graphic element flagging
Keyword Placement
Having the right keywords isn't enough — they need to be in the right sections with proper density and context.
- Job-title keywords in experience section
- Skill keyword density analysis
- Synonym and variation coverage
- Keyword placement recommendations
Section Structure
ATS systems expect specific sections in a specific order. Missing or misordered sections can cause critical parsing failures.
- Required sections present (experience, education, skills)
- Section ordering against ATS expectations
- Date format consistency checks
- Contact information completeness
File Compatibility
The file itself can cause rejection before content is even parsed. We check technical compatibility with major ATS platforms.
- File type and encoding validation
- Embedded vs. parseable text detection
- Special character and Unicode handling
- File size optimization
Why Your ATS Score Matters More Than You Think
Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use applicant tracking systems to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. If your CV doesn't pass automated screening, your qualifications are irrelevant — the recruiter never gets the chance to evaluate them.
An ATS score checker reveals exactly where your resume breaks down: formatting that confuses parsers, missing keywords the system expects, and structural issues that cause sections to be skipped entirely. Fixing these issues can move your score from the rejection pile to the top of the candidate list.
Once your ATS score is optimized, pair your improved CV with a skills gap analysis to ensure you're highlighting the right skills for your target role. Missing critical keywords in the right sections is one of the most common reasons for low ATS scores.
