Reading your résumé like an ATS…
How your ATS score is calculated
- Robot readability: tables, text boxes, columns, headers, icons and image-only files.
- Impact: bullet points with numbers and action verbs.
- Sections: the standard headings ATS search for.
- Contact details: name, phone, email, LinkedIn and city.
- Modern format: no date of birth, photo or marital status.
- Job match (optional): keyword overlap with a job description, counted as 20% of the score when you add one.
What is a good ATS score in India?
Above 80 means ATS software reads you cleanly. Between 55 and 80, a few quick fixes usually add 15 to 25 points. Below 55, the layout itself is losing information, and switching to an ATS-friendly template brings the biggest jump.
What is an ATS, and why does it reject good résumés?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is the software companies use to receive, sort and search job applications. Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Lever, SuccessFactors, Zoho Recruit and the software behind Naukri and LinkedIn job posts all work the same basic way: they turn your file into plain text, split it into sections, and let recruiters search and rank candidates by keywords.
The problem is the first step. If the software cannot read your file cleanly, your experience lands in the wrong place or disappears. A recruiter searching for "Python" or "GST" never sees you, even if you are the best fit. Nothing is wrong with you; the layout simply did not survive the robot.
What this free checker looks at
- Robot readability: tables, text boxes, two-column layouts, headers and footers, icon fonts, graphics, scanned or image-only PDFs.
- Contact details: whether the ATS can find your name, phone, email, LinkedIn and city.
- Sections: whether your headings match the ones ATS search for, like Work Experience, Education and Skills.
- Impact: how many of your points show measurable results and start with action verbs.
- Modern format: details Indian employers no longer expect, such as date of birth, marital status, parents' names or a photo.
- Job match: paste a job description and see which key terms you already use and which you are missing.
ATS-friendly résumé tips that work in India and abroad
- Use one clear column and standard headings: Summary, Work Experience, Education, Skills.
- Keep your name, phone and email in the body of the page, not in the header.
- Export to PDF from Word or Google Docs; never scan or save the résumé as an image.
- Start each point with an action verb and add a number: people, money, time or percentage.
- Mirror the exact skill names from the job description where they are true for you.
- Leave out date of birth, marital status, religion and a photo unless the employer asks.
Questions people ask
What ATS score do I need to get shortlisted?
There is no single cut-off, but résumés scoring above 80 on our checker are read cleanly by most ATS. Keyword match with the job description then decides your ranking.
Does Naukri use an ATS score?
Naukri and most employers who hire through it use ATS-style parsing and keyword search, so the same rules apply.
Is this ATS checker really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no card, and you can check as many versions as you like.
Is my résumé safe?
Your file is opened and parsed inside your own browser. Only the extracted text is sent to write your coaching notes, and we do not keep your contact details unless you ask us to send you the report.
How accurate is the score?
The structural checks use the same kind of text extraction real ATS use, so what you see in the robot view is a faithful preview. Every ATS is slightly different, so treat the score as a guide to what to fix, not a guarantee.
Which ATS does this simulate?
The checks cover the behaviour common to widely used systems such as Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Lever and SuccessFactors, and the parsers behind job portals like Naukri and LinkedIn.
What is a good ATS score?
Above 80 means the robot reads you cleanly and you are in good shape. Between 55 and 80, a few quick wins will lift you into the shortlist zone. Below 55, fixing the layout usually brings the biggest jump.
Can I check against a specific job?
Yes. Tap "Add its description", paste the job post, and you will see your keyword match and the terms to add.
