Understand what a resume check can and cannot tell you.
An applicant tracking system helps employers organize applications. Employers configure systems differently.
This checker extracts text and applies transparent rules. It does not connect to employer systems or reproduce their ranking.
A readable document helps communicate qualifications. It cannot replace the qualifications themselves.
Illustrative example using this checker’s published rules. File warnings and wording changes are shown separately; results do not predict an employer’s decision.
DOCX: content was detected in a header.
Example export with ordinary body paragraphs and no detected layout flag. Re-upload your own file to verify its text.
An ATS resume checker extracts a document and examines selected signals such as readable text, section structure and keyword overlap. ResumeClear uses its own published rules. It does not log in to Workday, Greenhouse or another employer system, and its number is not a score obtained from those systems.
Useful findings include missing extracted text, an email absent from the parsed document, a hard-to-follow section structure and wording that lacks a clear contribution. A JD comparison can highlight terms worth reviewing. Each finding still needs your context and judgment.
A checker cannot prove that you meet a legal, professional or employer-specific requirement. It cannot know every screening configuration or guarantee an interview. Use it as one editing step, alongside reviewing the vacancy and ensuring the final submission accurately represents your experience.
Add a job description to see keyword matches and gaps.
Upload a text-based PDF or DOCX, or paste your text. A job description is optional.
Inspect the parsed text, score breakdown and issues tied to your original lines.
Edit a bullet, verify the facts, then re-check. Your report stays free.
English resumes only. PDF text extraction and DOCX paragraphs are checked; visual fonts, all tables, and every ATS layout behavior cannot be verified. Scanned PDFs need OCR elsewhere.

Yes. You can see every score, issue and extracted line without an account. Basic checks, two-JD comparison and report printing are free.
Basic checks run in your browser. Files and job descriptions are not uploaded. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected text to our server and Cloudflare Workers AI after your consent.
No. Employers use different systems and rules. This is a reproducible heuristic check, not an employer score, ranking prediction or guarantee. AI is used only for optional rewriting.
