FAQ: Resume Checker

Is the resume checker really free online?

Yes—core ATS score, keyword gaps, and format flags require no signup for standard use.

PDF or Word for the resume checker?

Both work when exported simply. Always check the exact file you will upload to the employer portal.

What is a good ATS score?

There is no universal pass mark. Fix format flags first, then role-specific keywords via the match tool.
