What the robot reads

            

ATS record

The candidate profile a system builds from your file

Recruiters search and filter on these fields. Anything an ATS can’t pull out is a field left blank — and a search you won’t show up in.

Bullet grader

Every bullet, graded

Strong bullets start with what you did and end with what changed. Rewrites use placeholders like __% — fill them with your real numbers, never invented ones.

Job match

How you match this job

Fix list

What to fix, in order

Sorted by how much each one matters. The points show how your X-ray score changes when it’s fixed.

Fix it in the free resume editor

Your resume opens in the editor with this X-ray’s text: edit any line on the page, get AI suggestions for a bullet, and download a clean PDF.

See how it works

This X-ray simulates how common applicant tracking systems read resumes. Every system is a little different, and scores here are our own measure — not a prediction of any employer’s decision. Your resume stays on your device.

About this tool

How this free ATS resume checker works

It reads your file the way hiring software does

Most companies run applications through an applicant tracking system (ATS) before a recruiter sees them. The ATS turns your resume into text and fills in a candidate record: your name and contact details, each job with its dates, your education and your skills. Anything it can’t read is a blank field, and a recruiter’s search can’t find you there.

The X-ray opens the exact PDF or Word file you send employers, shows every line the parser catches, and builds the record an ATS would make from it, with the gaps marked.

Then it tells you what to fix first

Every bullet is graded A to D, with a rewrite to try. Rewrites leave blanks like __% for your real numbers; they never make one up. Paste a job description and you see your match to it, the must-have skills first. The fix list puts the changes in order of how much each one matters.

Choose where you’re applying (US, UK, Canada or Australia): each expects different things, such as leaving a photo or a date of birth off.

Questions

Is the ATS resume checker free?
Yes. Sign in with Google and check as many versions of your resume as you like.
Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. It’s read in your browser, on your device.
Which files can I check?
A PDF or a Word (.docx) file, or your resume pasted as text. Check the file you actually send, since its layout is what the software reads.
Does a high score mean I’ll get interviews?
No. The X-ray simulates how common applicant tracking systems read resumes, and the score is our own measure. Every system is a little different, and hiring decisions are the employer’s.
Can someone fix my resume and apply for me?
Yes. That’s our done-for-you job application service: a career specialist rewrites your resume and applies to 25–30 matched roles for you every business day.
