ATS Resume Checker (Free ATS Score + Keyword Gaps)

Most resumes fail ATS screening because of missing role-relevant keywords, weak impact language, or formatting that is hard to scan. ResumeUp gives you an instant, score-first ATS preview so you can see what recruiters and ATS software look for, what's missing, and what to fix first.

You'll get a free ATS score preview + a clear keyword gap report. If you want, you can then unlock a recruiter-grade rewrite that's tailored to your selected role track and seniority, with an after-score improvement report.

No keyword stuffing · No invented metrics · If a metric is unknown, we keep a TODO placeholder.

How an ATS resume score works

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) scans your resume to decide if it matches a job description. It typically rewards keyword alignment, relevant tools, and measurable outcomes (%, $, time, users). If your resume lacks those signals, you may be filtered out even if you're qualified.

What ResumeUp checks

  • • Missing keywords vs the job description (skills, tools, metrics, soft skills)
  • • Impact signals: numbers, outcomes, scale (and TODO placeholders if missing)
  • • Brevity & scannability: bullets vs paragraphs, length, readability
  • • Role context: track + seniority adjusts expectations (ex: PM vs Eng, Mid vs Senior)

FAQ

Is this ATS resume checker really free?
Yes. The ATS preview (score + checklist + keyword gaps) is free. Full rewrite generation uses credits.
Will you invent metrics or rewrite facts that aren't in my resume?
No. We do not fabricate employers, dates, titles, responsibilities, or numbers. If a metric is missing, we keep a TODO placeholder.
Do you do keyword stuffing?
No. Keywords are integrated naturally and only when consistent with your actual experience.
How do role track and seniority affect the report?
Your selection adjusts keyword weighting and impact expectations (e.g., engineering emphasizes tools/metrics more; senior expects clearer scale).
