Most resumes are screened by software before a person ever reads them. This tool reads the job description, pulls out the keywords and phrases that matter most, and checks how many of them actually show up in your resume. It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, no signup.

How to read your score

  • 80 and up. Strong match. Your resume should clear the keyword screen for this role. Submit it.
  • 60 to 79. Borderline. Close the biggest gaps in the missing list first, then run the check again before you apply.
  • Under 60. Getting filtered out. A human is unlikely to see this resume for this job. Rebuild the weak sections and add the missing keywords that are honestly true for you, then recheck.
One rule before you edit

Only add a keyword if it is true and you can back it up. Put it in a real bullet with context, not a skills dump at the bottom. The missing list shows the true skills you are failing to surface, not words to fake. Recruiters spot stuffing fast.

What to do after you check

Once you can see the gaps, the free ATS resume builder walks through closing them, and the ATS resume guide explains how the screening actually works so the fixes make sense. For the full rebuild sequence and the rest of the job search system, there is HIRED.

Questions people ask

How does this free ATS resume checker work?

It pulls the most important keywords and two-word phrases from the job description, then checks how many appear in your resume. You get a match score out of 100, the keywords you already cover, and the ones you are missing. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored.

What is a good ATS match score?

Eighty or higher is a strong match and worth submitting. Sixty to seventy-nine is borderline, so close the biggest gaps first. Under sixty means you are likely getting filtered out before a human sees the resume, and it needs a real pass against this specific job.

Should I just stuff my resume with the missing keywords?

No. Only add keywords that are honestly true for you, and put them where they belong, in real bullet points with context. Keyword stuffing gets caught by recruiters and reads badly. The missing list tells you which true skills you are failing to mention, not which words to fake.

Is my resume data private?

Yes. The check runs entirely on your device in JavaScript. Your resume and the job description are never sent to a server, never uploaded, and never saved.
