ATS resume checker

Automated upload-and-score arrives with accounts. This checklist covers the parsing failures that cost the most interviews.

What breaks resume parsing

Two-column layouts
Parsers read left-to-right and interleave your skills into your job history.
Headers and footers
Contact details placed there are frequently dropped entirely.
Tables for skills
Cell contents get concatenated without separators.
Images and logos
Ignored, and they inflate file size past upload limits.
Creative section names
“Where I've been” is not recognised as Experience.
Scanned or image PDFs
Nothing is extracted at all — always export text-based PDFs.
