Free ATS Resume Checker & Optimization Tool

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System**. It is software used by nearly all large companies to manage the high volume of applications they receive. The ATS scans, parses, and ranks resumes based on keywords**, formatting, and section headers before a human recruiter ever sees them. A poorly formatted or keyword-deficient resume is often rejected automatically by the ATS.

Our tool performs three main checks: 1) Keyword Matching (comparing your resume against the job description), 2) Format Structure (checking for standard ATS-friendly sections like Contact, Experience, Skills, and Education), and 3) Action Verb Density (ensuring you use strong verbs to describe your accomplishments).

Yes, the ScholarCareer ATS Resume Checker is completely free to use**. More importantly, we do not store or upload your resume data. The entire analysis process runs locally in your browser (client-side), ensuring your privacy is maintained.

The fastest way to improve your score is by ensuring you use the exact keywords found in the job description (skills, certifications, specific tools). Also, stick to simple, clean formatting—avoid tables, graphs, or excessive graphics which can confuse an ATS scanner.
