FREE ATS CHECK

Free ATS resume checker

An ATS (applicant tracking system, the software many employers use to store, search and filter resumes) reads your resume before a recruiter does. CVTara checks how readable your resume is and how well it matches a job post, then shows what to fix.

ATS resume check report with matched and missing keywords

What the check looks at

  • Standard section names such as Experience, Education and Skills
  • Readable text (not text inside images)
  • Contact details in the right place
  • Keywords and skills from the job description: matched, partly matched and missing
  • Simple fixes you can make in the builder

How it works

  1. Add your resume. Upload a PDF or Word file, or build one from a template.
  2. Add the job. Paste the job description or add the job link.
  3. See the report. A match estimate, missing keywords and the top fixes.
  4. Fix and recheck. Edit in the builder and run the check again.

What no checker can promise

Every employer configures their system differently, so no tool can guarantee a shortlist. The check shows clear, explainable gaps so you can fix them before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ATS check free?

Free accounts get a few checks every day. Plans include more scans.

What score is good?

Aim to fix every missing must-have skill you really have. A higher match helps, but honesty matters more than a number.

Does a two-column resume fail ATS?

Not always, but some systems read columns in the wrong order. A single column is safest.

Which file type should I upload?

A text-based PDF or Word file. Scanned images cannot be read.
