Free ATS resume checker
Paste your resume and see how well an applicant tracking system (ATS) can read it. You get a score out of 100 and a plain list of what to fix. Runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere or saved.
This checks how readable your resume is. It does not judge your experience, and no checker can promise what a real hiring system will do.
What an ATS reads
An applicant tracking system turns your resume into fields: name, email, jobs, dates, schools, skills. A recruiter then searches those fields. If a heading is missing, a date is unclear or text comes out scrambled, the field can end up empty and your resume is hard to find.
What this checker looks at
- Email, phone and LinkedIn link are present and easy to find
- Standard headings: Experience, Education, Skills
- Dates written the same way in every job
- Length: not too short, not a wall of text
- Bullets that start with an action and stay short
- Numbers that show results
- Tabs, tables, pipes, emoji and other symbols that often break parsing
Common questions
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS is the software an employer uses to collect and sort job applications. An ATS resume checker looks at your resume the way that software would and points out what could be misread or missed, such as missing headings, odd symbols or dates in mixed formats.
Does an ATS reject resumes by itself?
Most systems do not auto-reject on a score. They read your resume into fields, then a recruiter searches and filters those fields. If the system reads your resume wrong, the right person may never find it.
Is my resume saved or sent anywhere?
No. The check runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to Salvo or anyone else.
What does this checker not do?
It reads pasted text, so it cannot see your file's layout, fonts or columns. If the text you copy out of your PDF looks scrambled, an ATS will probably see the same mess. It also does not compare your resume to one job. Use the resume match checker for that.
Can Salvo fix this for every job?
Yes. Salvo writes a new, plain-format resume for each job from your own experience and applies for you. It is free until your 2nd interview request.
