Does your CV pass
the ATS filters?

What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by companies to automatically filter CVs before a human reads them. 98% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS to manage hundreds of applications per role, meaning most CVs are rejected before anyone sees them.

How does the ATS Checker work?

Upload your CV (PDF or DOCX) and our engine analyses it against 25+ criteria: readability, layout compatibility, key sections, job title detection, action verbs, keyword density, and more. You get a score out of 100 with specific, prioritised fixes.

Is the ATS Checker really free?

Yes. Your ATS score and core recommendations are completely free: no registration, no credit card. A detailed written report with in-depth corrections is available as a paid option.

What file formats are supported?

We support PDF and DOCX files up to 10 MB. For the most accurate analysis, submit a native PDF (not a scanned image or photo of a document).

How do I improve my ATS score?

Follow the recommendations in your results: add keywords from the job description, use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), avoid tables and text boxes that ATS software can't read, and include quantified achievements.

What ATS score should I aim for?

Below 60/100, our tool considers your CV to have significant gaps that are likely to hurt it against ATS filters. Between 60 and 79/100, the foundation is solid but some points still need fixing. From 80/100 upward, your CV is well optimised for automated filters.

Does a good ATS score guarantee an interview?

No, a good ATS score maximises your chances of passing the automated filter and reaching a recruiter, but it guarantees nothing beyond that: fit for the role, your experience, and the overall quality of your application still determine whether you get an interview.
