Everything you need to know to check your resume against a job description, understand your ATS score, fix missing keywords and improve your chances of getting past automated screening.
Open the ATS Resume CheckerYour resume is 100% private. It is read entirely within your browser using JavaScript — it is never uploaded to any server, stored in any database, or seen by WorkersPool. You can disconnect from the internet after loading the page and the tool will still work.
The WorkersPool ATS Resume Checker analyses your resume against a specific job description and tells you how well it would perform in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) — the automated software that most employers use to screen applications before a human reads them.
You upload your resume (or paste the text) and paste the job posting. The tool compares the two and produces an ATS compatibility score out of 100, identifies which keywords from the job posting are present in your resume and which are missing, checks your resume's formatting and structure, and gives you specific actionable recommendations to improve your score.
Studies suggest over 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before a human ever reads them. This tool helps you understand and fix the specific reasons your resume might be filtered out.

| Score | Rating | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 80 – 100 | Strong | Your resume is well-optimised for this role. Minor tweaks only. |
| 70 – 79 | Good | Solid match. Add a few missing keywords and review format checks. |
| 50 – 69 | Needs Work | Meaningful gaps. Address all missing keywords and format issues before applying. |
| Below 50 | Poor Match | Significant keyword and/or format problems. Major revision recommended. |
The score is made up of four components: Keyword Match (how many of the job posting's key terms appear in your resume), Format & Length (standard resume structure and appropriate length), Sections Found (presence of expected sections like Experience, Education, Skills) and ATS Readability (formatting that ATS parsers can process correctly).
Kenji is a junior analyst applying for a data analyst role at a financial services firm. He uploads his resume and pastes the job posting. Here are his initial results:
Kenji added a Skills section listing SQL, Tableau and Power BI, and rewrote one bullet point to include "stakeholder reporting." His score jumped from 54 to 81 — moving him from the filtered-out zone into a strong match for this specific role.
The ATS Resume Checker provides an estimated ATS compatibility score based on keyword matching and common formatting rules. Different ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS and others) use proprietary algorithms that may differ from this tool's methodology. Results should be used as a guide to improvement — not as a guarantee of passing any employer's screening process. WorkersPool accepts no liability for job application outcomes.
