Most resumes are rejected before a human sees them
Applicant tracking systems scan and rank every application before it reaches a recruiter. If the software can't read your resume, your experience doesn't matter.
Software reads it first
Most employers filter applications through an ATS before anyone opens your resume manually.
Keywords decide the shortlist
These systems rank you by how closely your resume's language matches the job ad, not just your actual experience.
Formatting can hide your experience
Tables, columns and graphics often get scrambled or dropped entirely when the software parses your file.

Common questions
It means the resume's file format, layout and section headers can be correctly read by the software companies use to screen applications, not just whether it looks good to a person.
Yes. The format and structure checks run with no login and no cost. If you paste a job ad for the sharper match score, that's still free to use. It just uses a small amount of AI behind the scenes.
No. A quick scan checks formatting and structure on its own. Adding a job ad is entirely optional and only sharpens the keyword match part of your score.
PDF files are supported. Make sure it's text-based rather than a scanned image, since scanned files can't be read by ATS software at all.
It's used only to generate your report. You're not required to create an account to run a scan.
