What It Does
HireParticle's ATS Resume Checker scans your resume against the same criteria used by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Taleo. It evaluates text readability, section structure, contact information, keyword density, and formatting compatibility. You receive a score out of 100 with specific pass/fail results for each criterion.
Who Is It For
Job seekers who want to ensure their resume passes automated ATS screening before reaching a human recruiter. Particularly useful if you are applying to large companies that use ATS software, switching careers, or updating your resume after a long time.

Limitations & Things to Know
Image-based PDFs (scanned documents) may not be readable. For best results, use a digitally-created PDF.
The checker evaluates ATS-readability, not content quality. A high ATS score does not guarantee interview callbacks.
ATS systems vary — our checks cover the most common criteria, but specific ATS platforms may have unique requirements.
