What Our Free Resume Scanner Checks
ATS Compatibility
Checks whether your resume format can be correctly read by ATS software. Flags tables, multiple columns, graphics, and non-standard section headings that cause parsing failures.
Keyword Match Score
Compares your resume word-for-word against the job description. Shows which keywords are present, which are missing, and the impact each gap has on your overall ATS score.
Section Structure
Verifies that your resume contains the sections ATS systems parse — Work Experience, Education, Skills — with standard headings that allow correct data extraction.
Resume vs CV — Does the Format Differ?
In the US, a resume is typically 1–2 pages focused on a specific role. In the UK, a CV is 2 pages and covers a fuller career history. Both formats go through ATS screening with the same keyword matching logic — the difference is in length conventions and terminology.
Our scanner works for both formats. For US applications, the keyword matching calibration applies directly. For UK CV applications, see our UK ATS CV checker which is specifically calibrated for British employers.
