ATS Resume Checker: how match scoring works
The ATS Resume Checker compares your CV text against a specific job description and returns a 0–100% match score plus actionable fixes.
How to use it
Upload a CV (PDF/Word) or paste your resume text directly — both are accepted.
Paste the full job description. The more complete it is, the more accurate the score.
Click Check. You will see your overall score, a category breakdown, keyword gaps, and specific line-level suggestions.
Reading your results
Overall score — how well your CV matches this specific job, based on keyword coverage, skills overlap, and formatting compatibility with ATS parsers.
Category breakdown — score split across areas like skills match, experience relevance, and formatting.
Improvements — specific lines flagged with the issue, why it matters, and a suggested rewrite, ranked by severity.
Run the checker again after applying fixes — the score is recalculated fresh every time against the same job description.
