What this scanner checks
We evaluate 5 ATS readability dimensions plus deep content analysis — language quality, formatting consistency, and experience-level feedback.
Contact Information
Checks for name, email, phone number, and location. Missing contact info is the #1 reason ATS systems reject resumes.
Section Headers
Looks for standard sections: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills. Creative headers confuse ATS parsers.
Quantification
Checks if your bullet points include numbers, percentages, and metrics. Quantified results are proven to increase interview rates.
File Format
Evaluates whether your file format (PDF or DOCX) is compatible with ATS systems and parses cleanly.
Overall Quality
Assesses resume length, bullet point count, action verb usage, and general formatting consistency.
Content Analysis
Detects cliches, passive voice, pronouns, spelling errors, formatting inconsistencies, and experience level — with tailored advice.

Your resume never leaves your browser. All scanning happens client-side using JavaScript. No data is uploaded to any server, and nothing is stored. You can verify this by checking the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while scanning.
ATS readability measures how well hiring software (Applicant Tracking Systems) can parse and understand your resume. It checks whether your formatting, structure, and content follow the patterns that ATS systems expect. A high readability score means the software can correctly extract your contact info, work history, skills, and education.
This tool measures readability — can the ATS read your resume? A full ATS score also measures job match — how well your resume matches a specific job description. For job-specific scoring, try Career Quiver (free tier available).
We support PDF (.pdf) and Word (.docx) files, as well as plain text paste. PDF is parsed using PDF.js, and DOCX is parsed using mammoth.js — both are industry-standard open-source libraries that run entirely in your browser.
85-100 (Strong): Your resume is well-structured and ATS-friendly.

55-69 (Needs Work): Several issues that could cause parsing problems.
0-54 (High Risk): Significant formatting or content issues that will likely cause your resume to be filtered out.
