How It Works

Three steps to a clearer application.

  1. Step 1: Add your resume

    Upload a PDF or DOCX, or paste the text. It is read on ATSCheck's servers and kept private.

  2. Step 2: Add the job description

    ATSCheck separates it into individual requirements, each marked required or preferred.

  3. Step 3: Review evidence and fixes

    See what the resume proves, what is missing, and which improvements matter most.

Reading the resume

  • Passed: Contact details found in the body text
  • Passed: Section headings recognised
  • Passed: Required · REST API development — evidence quoted
  • Passed: Required · PostgreSQL in production — evidence quoted
  • Needs attention: Dates use more than one format

Job Requirements

ATSCheck Intelligence

REST API development

Strong evidenceRelated wording — strong evidence

The resume never says “REST API”, but it describes designing HTTP services that other applications consume. That is the substance of the requirement.

From the resumeExperience · Backend Engineer

Designed HTTP services consumed by web and mobile applications.

Consider: Name the API style and scale if you know them, for example the number of client applications.

What a Check Covers

Two questions, answered separately.

Can the document be read? And does it show the evidence this job asks for? ATSCheck keeps those apart, so a formatting problem is never confused with a missing skill.

How scores are calculated

ATS compatibility

Whether text extracts cleanly and in order, whether layout gets in the way, and whether sections, dates and contact details are recognisable.

86example

Job alignment

How strongly the resume evidences this job: required and preferred requirements, skills and relevant experience, weighed by importance.

71example

Requirements

The job description is separated into individual requirements, each marked required or preferred, so nothing is judged against a vague whole.

Evidence

Every requirement shows the lines that support it, quoted verbatim from the resume — or states plainly that no evidence was found.

Improvements

Prioritised, specific fixes: what matters most for this role first, what is optional, and why each one matters.

Context, Not Keyword Counting

A requirement can be met in different words.

Counting keywords rewards repetition and misses real experience. ATSCheck reads what the resume describes, then shows you the exact line it relied on.

Keyword Counting

"REST API"

0matches in the resume

A literal search misses experience described in different words, and rewards resumes that repeat the phrase without showing any work.

Strong evidenceRelated wording — strong evidence

The quote is checked against the resume text before it is shown, so the evidence is always something the person actually wrote.

Synthetic example data

Truthful Resume Improvement

Clearer wording. The same facts.

Rewrite suggestions make a line more specific and easier to read. They never add an employer, a number, a tool or a responsibility you did not describe — and when a result would help, ATSCheck asks you for it.

Suggested rewrite

Synthetic example data
Original
Helped improve customer response time.
Suggestion
Improved customer response workflows and contributed to faster customer responses.
Consider adding a measurable result if you know it. ATSCheck does not invent numbers, tools or responsibilities.

Cover Letters Grounded in Evidence

Written from what you have actually done.

Cover letters draw on the evidence in your resume and the requirements of the role. Generated text is checked for claims your resume does not support before you see it.

Cover letter draft

Synthetic example data

In my current role I designed HTTP services used by both our web and mobile applications1, and I looked after the PostgreSQL schemas and query performance behind our orders service2. That work is close to what your team describes for this role, and I would welcome the chance to talk about it.

Grounded in the Resume

  1. 1“Designed HTTP services consumed by web and mobile applications.”
  2. 2“Maintained PostgreSQL schemas and tuned slow queries for the orders service.”
