What an ATS actually checks
An applicant tracking system parses your resume into plain text and fields before anyone reads it. If it cannot cleanly find your job titles, dates, and skills, your application can get ranked down or filtered out, no matter how strong the experience behind it is.
The usual culprits are multi-column layouts, tables, text inside images, non-standard section headings, and a job title the recruiter would never search for. CVCheck reads your resume the way a parser would and flags the parts that do not survive the trip.
How the ATS score is calculated
ATS compatibility is one of seven scored dimensions and is worth 20 of the 100 total points. We check whether your title is searchable, whether each section parses cleanly, and which role-specific keywords are present or missing for your field.
You get the verdict and the score for free. Upgrading to the full report (a one-time €1.99) lists the specific keywords your field expects but your resume is missing, and shows how to fix each red flag on your actual text.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is the software employers use to collect and filter applications. It parses your resume into text and fields, then ranks or screens candidates before a recruiter reviews them.
Is the ATS checker really free?
Yes. The ATS verdict, your score out of 100, and your red flags are free with no account. The full report with missing keywords and fixes is a one-time €1.99.
What can I upload?
A PDF resume, a portfolio site URL, or a GitHub profile URL. CVCheck reads whichever you give it.
Will it show the exact keywords I am missing?
The free check tells you whether keyword coverage is a problem. The full report lists the specific missing keywords for your field so you can add the ones that matter.
