Scan My Resume FreeFree to try — no credit card required
Upload your resume as a DOCX or PDF. Our scanner reads it the same way an ATS does — extracting text, identifying sections, and cataloging every skill and qualification.
Paste in the full job description for the role you are applying to. The more complete the job description, the more precise your scan results will be.
Receive your ATS compatibility score out of 100, a complete list of matched and missing keywords, and a breakdown of which required qualifications your resume currently covers.
Your score is calculated using the same signals real ATS platforms use: keyword match rate, keyword placement, section completeness, and formatting compliance. It is not a vanity metric — it reflects your actual likelihood of passing the automated screening stage for the specific job you scanned against.
See every keyword from the job description in one table, with a clear indication of which ones appear in your resume and which ones are missing. Keywords are categorized by type — technical skills, tools, certifications, soft skills — so you know what kind of gap you are dealing with.
Our scanner checks your resume for the formatting patterns that cause ATS parsing failures. Tables, text boxes, two-column layouts, graphics, and non-standard fonts are all flagged with a clear description of the risk and how to resolve it.
The scanner displays your resume and job description requirements side by side, showing exactly where the match is strong and where the gap exists. This visual alignment makes it easy to decide which edits will have the most impact on your score.
A score of 80 or above typically indicates strong keyword coverage and formatting compatibility — most ATS systems would rank such a resume highly for the target role. Scores between 60 and 79 suggest meaningful gaps that are worth addressing before applying. Scores below 60 indicate significant keyword mismatches or formatting problems that are likely to cause your application to be filtered out. Use the scanner's keyword report to prioritize which improvements will move your score most efficiently.
No. An ATS score measures how well your resume is likely to pass automated screening for a specific role. Clearing the ATS filter is necessary but not sufficient — your resume still needs to impress a human recruiter, and your overall qualifications still need to match the role's requirements. A high score means your resume is visible; what the recruiter sees when they open it is still determined by the quality and relevance of your experience.
Yes, if you want to maximize your results. ATS scores are job-specific — a resume that scores 88 for one role may score 52 for a similar role at a different company because the job descriptions use different terminology. Scanning for each application takes less than two minutes and tells you exactly what to adjust. ResumeSync also makes it easy to maintain multiple tailored versions of your resume so you can reuse and update them efficiently.
Most free ATS checkers do simple keyword counting — they check whether a word from the job description appears anywhere in your resume. ResumeSync's scanner goes further by analyzing keyword context and placement (a term in your job title carries more weight than one in a skills list), identifying formatting issues at the structural level, and integrating with AI tailoring so you can act on scan results immediately rather than manually figuring out how to fix each gap.
Know your ATS score before you hit submit. ResumeSync's scanner gives you a full compatibility report in under 60 seconds — free. Then use our AI tailoring tools to close every gap and submit with confidence. Start scanning now and stop losing applications to the filter.
