What Our ATS Resume Checker Evaluates
Every ATS score is broken down across five pillars so you know exactly why your resume passed or where automated filters drop your application.
Resume Structure
Checks that the core sections an ATS looks for (summary, work experience, skills, education) are present and in a logical order.
Quantified Impact
Measures how many of your work experience bullets include measurable results: numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts.
Keyword Coverage
Evaluates how well your skills and descriptions cover the industry-standard terms recruiters and keyword filters search for.
ATS Formatting
Checks that your resume parses into clean, readable entries at a sensible length, without the complex tables or graphics that confuse parsers.
Contact Completeness
Verifies that your name, email, phone number, and LinkedIn profile can be found on your resume.
4 Mistakes That Tank Your ATS Score
Common habits that make a resume harder for parsers and keyword filters to read, and how to fix each one.
Use a single-column layout so ATS parsers read your role titles, companies, and dates in the right order.
Keep your name, email, phone, and LinkedIn in the main body. Many ATS parsers skip PDF headers and footers.
Replace "Responsible for backend APIs" with "Built 12 Node.js endpoints handling 40K daily requests at p95 < 80ms."
List skills as plain text grouped by category so keyword matchers can index every tool and framework.

ATS Score & Resume Checker FAQ
What is a good ATS score for a resume?
On RiseMe, 80 or above is strong: core sections are present, keyword coverage is good, and your experience is backed by measurable results. 60 to 79 is fair and usually means missing keywords or too few numbers in your bullets. Below 60 points to missing sections or contact details worth fixing first.
Is this ATS resume checker really free with no sign-up?
Yes. You can upload your PDF, DOC, or DOCX resume right on this page and get your full ATS score, 5-category breakdown, and top improvement tips without creating an account or entering an email.
How does RiseMe calculate my ATS score?
RiseMe parses your resume into sections, roles, skills, and contact details, then scores five categories from 0 to 100: Resume Structure, Quantified Impact, Keyword Coverage, ATS Formatting, and Contact Completeness. The overall score weights quantified impact most (30%), then keywords (25%), structure (20%), formatting (15%), and contact info (10%).
What is the difference between a general ATS score and a job-specific match score?
A general ATS score checks whether your resume is machine-readable, well-structured, and written with measurable impact. A job-specific match score compares your verified skills against the exact required and preferred skills of a target job description. RiseMe gives you both.
Is my uploaded resume kept private?
Yes. Your resume is used only to generate your report. We never sell it or share it with employers.
