An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. Over 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching a recruiter.
Your ATS score measures how well your resume's keywords, formatting, and content match a specific job posting. A higher score means the ATS is more likely to forward your resume to a hiring manager.
How JobChef's ATS Checker Works
- Upload your resume — PDF format, up to 10 MB. JobChef extracts all text automatically.
- Specify a target role — Optionally paste the full job description for more accurate matching.
- Get your score — AI analyzes keyword overlap, skill coverage, and experience alignment.
- Review detailed feedback — See missing keywords, strengths, weaknesses, and 2–3 specific improvement tips.
What You Get in Your ATS Report
ATS Compatibility Score (0–100)
A single number showing how likely your resume is to pass automated screening for the target role.
Missing Keywords
Specific skills, technologies, and qualifications the job requires that are missing from your resume.
Strengths & Weaknesses
What your resume does well (matching experience, relevant projects) and where it falls short (missing certifications, vague descriptions).
Improvement Tips
Actionable suggestions like "Add Python and SQL to your skills section" or "Quantify your achievements with metrics."
Tips to Improve Your ATS Score
- Mirror exact keywords from the job description (e.g., "project management" not "managed projects").
- Use standard section headings: Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications.
- Avoid tables, graphics, and multi-column layouts that ATS cannot parse.
- Quantify achievements: "Increased revenue by 23%" reads better than "Improved revenue."
- Tailor your resume for each application — a generic resume scores lower than a targeted one.
