What is an ATS score?
Pika's ATS score is a 0 to 100 diagnostic summary across eight resume areas. It helps you find parsing, structure, content, and keyword risks. It is not an employer score.
Upload your resume to check common formatting, parsing, and content risks using Pika's diagnostic rubric.

What the score means
Pika applies its own rubric to common parsing, structure, contact-information, experience, skills, keyword, writing, and file-quality risks. It does not connect to an employer's ATS, reproduce a named platform, guarantee passage, or predict ranking, shortlisting, interviews, or hiring.
Get your ATS score, grade, category breakdown, and issue counts in under 30 seconds.
Checks common risks found across resume-parsing workflows
Employers use different hiring systems. Pika applies its own diagnostic rubric and does not reproduce or predict any employer's ATS.
Most large enterprises and MNCs
Pika flags common risks such as multi-column layouts, text boxes, and tables. It does not reproduce Workday parsing.
Banking, government, and legacy Fortune 500
Pika checks whether contact details appear in the main document body and flags formatting that may complicate parsing.
Tech companies and startups
Keyword relevance can matter during recruiter review. Pika highlights skills-and-keywords gaps without predicting a hiring outcome.
US enterprise and staffing agencies
Pika checks for conventional section headings and consistent date formats without predicting iCIMS behavior.
Pika also models Lever, Workable, BambooHR, and SmartRecruiters. Sign in to use your account's one successful free analysis and save the result.

ATS score guide
Upload one resume to get a score, grade, category breakdown, and issue counts. The useful part is not the headline number alone. It is seeing which of the eight categories needs attention before you apply.
Pika's ATS score is a 0 to 100 diagnostic summary across eight resume areas. It helps you find parsing, structure, content, and keyword risks. It is not an employer score.
There is no universal pass mark across employers or resume checkers. Compare your result with the current Pika benchmarks, then improve the weakest categories and verify the underlying issues.
Each tool uses its own parser, rubric, weights, job inputs, and thresholds. Focus on evidence you can verify, such as unreadable text, unclear headings, or missing role-relevant skills.

Three-column layout detected - consider a simpler structure for easier parsing

PDF appears to be a scanned image - verify that its text can be selected and copied
Skills listed inside a graphic - consider adding selectable text
Phone number included as part of a header image - consider placing it in the document body
Custom font detected - verify that bullet alignment survives text extraction

FAQ
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) helps employers collect and manage applications. Some systems parse resume text or support recruiter searches and filters, so clear structure and readable text can reduce avoidable parsing problems.
An ATS score is a tool-specific diagnostic summary of the resume signals that tool checks. Pika's score runs from 0 to 100 and combines eight areas, including parsing, headings, contact information, experience, skills and keywords, education, action verbs, and file quality. It is not a score issued by an employer or a hiring platform.
There is no universal ATS pass score. Use Pika's score to compare your resume with Pika's current benchmarks and to find weaker categories, not as a prediction of hiring success. The State of Resumes page publishes the current Pika threshold, average, median, and percentile benchmarks with their sample size.
Upload a text-based PDF or DOCX, let Pika complete the analysis, then review the score, grade, eight category scores, and issue counts. Every account gets unlimited successful free analyses. Use the category breakdown to decide what to improve before applying.
Resume checkers use different rubrics, weights, keyword inputs, parsers, and thresholds. The same file can therefore receive different scores from different tools. Compare the evidence behind the score, especially parsing errors and missing job-relevant information, instead of treating two numbers as interchangeable.
