About ATS Resume Checker

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes for structure, contact details, and role-relevant keywords before a recruiter ever sees your file. Hemiley’s free ATS Resume Checker helps you spot common parsing gaps so your resume is more likely to pass automated screening.

Unlike a simple spell-check, this tool reviews word count range, email and phone detection, bullet formatting, action-verb usage, and whether your resume mentions words related to the target job title you enter. You get a clear score plus practical tips you can apply immediately.

Key Features of ATS Resume Checker

  • Instant ATS-oriented score based on formatting and keyword signals
  • Checks for email, phone number, and bullet-point structure
  • Counts strong action verbs commonly used in achievement bullets
  • Compares resume text against your target job title keywords
  • Private browser-side analysis — no account required

How to Use ATS Resume Checker

  1. Enter the target job title you are applying for (for example, Software Engineer).
  2. Paste your full resume text into the checker field.
  3. Click Analyze to generate your ATS compatibility score and feedback.
  4. Follow the tips — add missing contact info, bullets, keywords, or action verbs — then re-check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ATS Resume Checker free to use?

Yes. Hemiley’s ATS Resume Checker is completely free, with no sign-up, download, or payment required.

What does an ATS resume checker look for?

It looks for parse-friendly structure and signals recruiters’ systems expect: contact details, clear bullets, enough detail (without being oversized), action verbs, and keywords related to your target role.

Will this guarantee my resume passes every ATS?

No tool can guarantee every employer’s ATS. Different systems use different parsers. This checker highlights common issues that cause resumes to fail automated screens so you can improve your odds.

Is my resume uploaded or stored?

You paste text into the browser and analysis runs on Hemiley’s client-side tool UI. You do not need to create an account to use the checker.

Should I still tailor my resume for each job?

Yes. Use the job title field and mirror important skills from the posting. Pair this checker with our Resume Bullet Generator and Resume Score Analyzer for deeper polish.
