How ATSCheck evaluates your 0–100 ATS readiness score
Employers may use application systems to collect or review candidate information, but workflows and screening criteria differ. ATSCheck scores a resume across seven transparent checklist categories totaling 100 points.
A résumé's relevance, structure, and wording directly affect how easily parsers extract your qualifications. ATSCheck provides heuristic feedback to review formatting and keywords; it does not claim access to an employer's proprietary screening rules.
Structural Parseability (50 Points)
Evaluates contact details (20 pts), standard section headings (20 pts), and document structure (10 pts) as general readability signals. It cannot predict how another parser will read the file.
Recruiter Impact & Quality (50 Points)
Evaluates measurable details (15 pts), action verbs (15 pts), achievement bullets (10 pts), and filler phrases (10 pts), plus a separate job-description keyword comparison. These checks do not establish a universal hiring threshold.
The résumé checker reviews more than typos and punctuation
The tool reviews common résumé content and formatting signals across three categories. Results are heuristic guidance, not tests against employer ATS software or recruiters:
