Analyzed like a recruiter + ATS parser combo. Blunt, accurate, actionable. No flattery.
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume checker scans your resume the same way company software does before a human recruiter ever sees it. Over 90% of large Indian companies β TCS, Infosys, Zomato, Flipkart, Amazon India β use ATS to filter applications. A low ATS score means your resume is rejected automatically, even if you are qualified. Our free checker shows your ATS score, missing keywords, weak language and exact fixes.
A score of 75+ is considered recruiter-ready for most roles in India. Scores of 85+ put you in the top 20% of applicants. If your score is below 60, your resume is likely being filtered before a human reads it. Most Indian resumes score between 45β65 due to missing quantified metrics, weak action verbs and formatting issues.
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Your resume is analyzed 100% in your browser using JavaScript β it is never uploaded to any server, stored, or shared. You can safely paste your full resume text without any privacy concerns.
Real ATS systems compare your resume keywords against the specific job description. Without a JD, a generic score is calculated based on structure and language quality only (capped at 79%). When you paste the JD, the checker shows exact keyword match %, which keywords you are missing, and which to add β unlocking the full 100-point score.
The top 5 ATS failures for Indian resumes are: (1) Using tables, columns or text boxes β ATS cannot parse these; (2) No quantified achievements β "managed a team" vs "managed a 12-person team, reducing TAT by 34%"; (3) Missing LinkedIn URL; (4) Generic buzzwords like "hardworking", "team player", "go-getter"; (5) First-person pronouns (I, me, my) which break ATS parsing rules at 60%+ of systems.
Freshers should paste their resume and the target job description (from Naukri, LinkedIn or company website) into both fields. The checker will show which skills and keywords are missing from the JD. For freshers, focus on: listing projects with measurable outcomes (even college projects), adding all technical tools (SQL, Python, Excel, etc.) explicitly, and having a strong Summary section that mirrors the job role keywords.
Almost all large Indian corporates and MNCs use ATS. This includes: TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Accenture India, Amazon India, Flipkart, Zomato, Swiggy, Ola, Paytm, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Deloitte, KPMG, EY and Byju's. Even mid-sized companies with 200+ employees now use platforms like Darwinbox, Keka, Zoho Recruit, or iCIMS β all of which have ATS filtering built in.
To jump from 50 to 80+: (1) Add 8β12 quantified metrics (numbers, %, βΉ crore/lakh figures); (2) Start every bullet with a strong action verb (Led, Built, Delivered, Scaled, Drove); (3) Remove all tables, columns and decorative symbols; (4) Add a dedicated Skills section with exact tool names; (5) Paste the job description and add every missing keyword naturally into your resume; (6) Keep length 450β750 words; (7) Add LinkedIn URL prominently.
