The calculator blends three weighted components into a 0–100 score. Weights are normalized so they always sum to 1.00.
Readability is reported separately as a quality signal.
Applicant tracking systems often rely on keyword signals to route resumes to recruiters. This calculator estimates alignment by comparing your resume text with a target keyword set derived from the role. A higher match percentage suggests stronger coverage of core requirements, tools, and domain terms. Aim for accurate wording, not stuffing. Place critical terms where humans expect them, including the Summary, Skills, and the first bullets under recent roles. Include common acronyms and the expanded form to match different screening rules.
Clear headings help automated parsers map content into standardized fields. When Experience, Education, and Skills are missing or renamed creatively, important details can be misclassified. The section score checks for common headings and related phrases. If you use alternative labels, add a familiar keyword in the heading line, such as “Professional Experience” or “Technical Skills.” Consistent structure also helps recruiters skim quickly. Keep dates and locations on separate lines for cleaner extraction.
ATS-friendly formatting favors simple layouts, consistent bullets, and lines that do not run extremely long. The formatting score in this tool rewards bullet usage and penalizes excessive line length or unusual characters. Keep bullets action oriented, start with verbs, and include metrics. Avoid tables for core content, minimize special symbols, and keep contact links in plain text so systems capture them reliably. Use standard fonts and avoid text boxes in exported documents.
Different roles emphasize different evidence. For a technical vacancy, keyword match may carry more importance; for leadership roles, consistent sections and clean presentation may matter more. The weighting controls let you tune the final score by allocating emphasis across match, sections, and formatting. Weights are normalized automatically, so you can adjust without doing math. Recalculate after each revision to validate improvements. Choose weights that mirror posting.
Use the download buttons to save reports per application and maintain a change log. Record the job title, date, and key edits made, then compare scores across iterations. Look for patterns, such as missing certification terms or weak project keywords. Pair this quantitative check with a manual review for relevance and truthfulness. The best results come from tailoring, concise achievements, and consistent terminology. Tie changes to interview callbacks monthly.
It is an estimated 0–100 score combining keyword match, section completeness, and formatting quality using your selected weights. It helps compare versions and spot gaps, but it is not an official score from any employer system.
Use the job description and list the skills, tools, certifications, and role terms that appear repeatedly. Add common variations, such as acronyms and full phrases. Only include keywords you can honestly support with experience or projects.
ATS tools often match exact words or close phrases. If you used a different synonym, the checker may not count it. Add the exact term where appropriate, while keeping the sentence natural and accurate.
No. Hiring decisions include experience depth, achievements, portfolio, seniority, and recruiter judgment. A higher score mainly suggests your resume is easier to parse and closer to the role’s terminology, which can improve screening odds.
Readability reflects sentence length and word complexity. It can help you write clearer bullets and summaries, but it is not part of the weighted ATS score by default. Use it as a quality signal for human reviewers.
