Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS?+
An Applicant Tracking System is software employers use to scan, parse, and rank resumes before a human sees them. If your resume isn't parser-friendly or misses key terms, it can be filtered out automatically.
Is this really free?+
Yes. The checker is completely free, needs no account, and has no limits. The full resume builder and editor are free too.
Do you store my resume?+
No. The score is computed on your device - your resume text is not saved to any account or database when you use the checker.
How accurate is the score?+
It's a transparent, rule-based estimate - not a black box. It mirrors how real ATS systems parse and rank resumes, and every point is explained so you know exactly what to fix.
