How to use the ATS Resume Checker (Keyword Match)

  1. Copy the text of your resume and paste it in the first box.
  2. Paste the job description in the second box.
  3. See your keyword match score and missing keywords.
  4. Add the missing keywords that genuinely match your skills.

Tips to make your resume ATS-friendly

  • Use a simple single-column layout. Avoid tables, text boxes and images for important text.
  • Use standard headings: Summary, Skills, Experience, Projects, Education.
  • Mirror the exact words in the job description, for example "MS Excel" rather than only "spreadsheets".
  • Save as PDF or DOCX, as the job portal asks.
  • Put your phone number and email at the top.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ATS score?

Aim for a match of 60-80%. A 100% match is not needed and keyword stuffing can look fake to recruiters.

Is my resume data saved?

No. The check runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
