ATS resume checker FAQ
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS resume checker estimates how well your resume can be parsed and matched by applicant tracking systems. It looks for clear headings, standard sections, readable text and relevant keywords, not for hidden employer rules.
Does this checker read a specific employer's ATS?
No. Every employer configures their ATS differently and those settings are private. This checker scores your document against common ATS-friendly practices so you can improve before you apply.
What file types can I check?
PDF, DOCX and TXT files are supported. File text is extracted in your browser; only the text is sent to the server for analysis.
Will this rewrite my resume for me?
No. It highlights issues and explains the fix. In the full Hirelu app, each suggestion is a card you approve, edit or reject; your original text is always preserved.
Is the ATS check free?
Yes. The instant check on this page is free and does not require an account. You get a headline score and a sample of category feedback.
