Free ATS Resume Checker
Run your resume through a free Applicant Tracking System check in under 30 seconds. Pika Resume's ATS checker scans your PDF the way Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Taleo do, then returns a compatibility score (0-100), a list of issues that would cause automated rejection, and the highest-impact fixes you should make first.
How the ATS Checker Works
Drag and drop your resume PDF (or DOCX) into the upload area. Our AI extracts the text the same way an ATS parser would, then evaluates eight dimensions: format and parsing, section headings, contact information, work experience, skills and keywords, education, action verbs and impact, and file quality. Each dimension gets its own score and message. Sections that fail are flagged with the exact problem so you know what to change.
Why ATS Friendliness Matters in 2026
More than 98 percent of Fortune 500 companies use ATS software to filter applicants. If your resume cannot be parsed, it never reaches a recruiter. Common ATS-killers include tables, multi-column layouts, text in images, headers and footers, custom fonts, and creative section names like "What I've Done" instead of "Experience". Our checker catches all of these and tells you what to fix.
What You Get
A clear ATS score from 0 to 100. Eight detailed section scores. The top three to five issues affecting your resume right now. The top three to five fixes that will move the needle the most. Optional keyword-match scoring against a target job description. All free, all instant, no email signup required.
