Know your score
before they see your name.

An ATS (applicant tracking system) is software companies use to collect, sort, and filter resumes before a human ever reads them. Most mid-size and large companies use one. If your resume's formatting or keywords don't match what the ATS is looking for, it can get filtered out before a recruiter sees it, regardless of how qualified you actually are.

Three things: keyword overlap with the job description, section structure (whether expected sections like Summary, Skills, and Experience are present and complete), and formatting compliance (tables, columns, and layouts that break ATS parsing). It returns a 0-100 score plus a specific list of what to fix in each area.

There's no universal cutoff since every company's ATS is configured differently, but as a general guide, 75 and above is considered a strong match, with 80-85+ meaning your resume is well optimized for the role. Below 60 usually means missing keywords or formatting issues are likely hurting your chances before a recruiter ever opens it.

Many do. Multi-column layouts and tables can scramble the reading order or drop content entirely when an ATS parses your resume into text, even if it looks fine to a human. CareerARIA's ATS checker flags these formatting issues directly, so you know before you apply, not after.

You paste your resume and the job description you're applying to. CareerARIA compares the two: keyword overlap, section structure, and formatting, the same signals a real applicant tracking system evaluates, and returns a 0-100 score along with the specific keywords and fixes that would raise it.

No online checker can replicate every company's exact ATS configuration since those systems are proprietary and vary widely. CareerARIA's score is an estimate based on the signals most ATS platforms commonly evaluate: keyword match, structure, and formatting, useful as a strong directional guide, not an exact prediction of any single company's system.

Yes. The checker works from whatever job description you paste in, so it adapts to the role and industry you're targeting rather than applying one fixed template. It's used across tech, business, healthcare, and other fields.

Yes. The Free plan includes ATS resume scoring with no credit card required. Paid plans raise your monthly scan limit and unlock the other six modules (cover letters, interview prep, LinkedIn, company research, and more).

It means your resume clears the ATS-screening stage, the filter most candidates never get past. Getting the interview after that still depends on your experience and how you compare to other applicants, but this checker solves the part that's in your control.
