Frequently Asked Questions
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume checker scans your resume the same way employer software does — checking for keywords, formatting, and structure. Over 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before a human ever sees them. Our free checker shows you exactly why and how to fix it.
Yes — completely free, forever. No credit card, no subscription, no hidden fees. Unlike Resume.io ($24.95/mo) or Zety ($7–24/mo), careerAIForge's ATS checker is free for every user.
Most recruiters and ATS systems look for a 70%+ keyword match. Our checker shows your exact score and the specific keywords you need to add to cross that threshold.
Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), include keywords directly from the job description, avoid tables and text boxes, use standard fonts, and save as PDF or DOCX. Our ATS checker identifies exactly which keywords you are missing for any specific job.
