Can an ATS read your resume correctly?
A resume can look polished to you and still lose names, dates, skills, or work history when screening software parses it. Upload your PDF to see its ATS risk and the wider hiring signal it sends.

Visual diagnosis
ATS compatibility is only one part of the signal
Your report maps ATS parseability alongside keyword alignment, impact, readability, credibility, and interview potential. That shows whether the document is merely readable or persuasive enough to earn a callback.

What the ATS resume checker examines
Keyword alignment
Checks whether your experience is expressed with clear role, skill, tool, and domain language that screening systems can recognize.
Recruiter readability
Measures whether a recruiter can quickly understand your level, strongest work, and relevance after the ATS passes the file through.
Issues to check
Common reasons ATS systems misread resumes
- Contact details placed inside headers, footers, icons, or decorative blocks
- Two-column layouts that merge unrelated lines in the wrong reading order
- Skills shown as graphics, ratings, logos, or unexplained abbreviations
- Unclear job titles, inconsistent dates, and non-standard section headings
- Bullets that list duties but omit role-specific skills and outcomes
From diagnosis to outcome
What to do with your result
Start with parseability: if the software cannot reliably extract your history, stronger wording will not solve the first screening problem.
Then improve the hiring signal. Resumaxx can apply the remaining recommended fixes and generate a cleaner ATS-friendly PDF after you review your free scan.
