Where You Match

Credit for what you have done, in your own words.

Job descriptions and resumes rarely use the same vocabulary. ATSCheck looks for experience that meets the requirement, and shows you the line it found.

Keyword Counting

"REST API"

0matches in the resume

A literal search misses experience described in different words, and rewards resumes that repeat the phrase without showing any work.

Strong evidenceRelated wording — strong evidence

The quote is checked against the resume text before it is shown, so the evidence is always something the person actually wrote.

Synthetic example data

Where Evidence Is Missing

A gap in the document, not a verdict on you.

When ATSCheck cannot find evidence for a requirement, it says exactly that. You decide whether the experience exists and belongs on your resume — or whether the role is not the right fit.

Kubernetes · Preferred

No evidence found in the supplied resume.

If you have used Kubernetes, add a specific, truthful example of what you did with it. If you have not, leave it out.

What to Improve

Suggestions you can put your name to.

Recommendations are prioritised for the role you chose. Rewrite suggestions sharpen wording without adding facts, and ask for a measurable result only when you know it.

Suggested rewrite

Original
Helped improve customer response time.
Suggestion
Improved customer response workflows and contributed to faster customer responses.
Consider adding a measurable result if you know it. ATSCheck does not invent numbers, tools or responsibilities.

Cover Letters · Pro

A letter that sounds like your experience.

Drafts connect the requirements of the role to evidence in your resume. Claims your resume does not support are caught before you see the draft. Edit it until it sounds like you.

Cover Letters / Senior Backend Engineer

Draft 2

Synthetic example data

Dear hiring team,

I am applying for the Senior Backend Engineer role. In my current position I designed HTTP services consumed by web and mobile applications, and I maintained the PostgreSQL schemas behind our orders service, tuning slow queries as traffic grew.

I have also onboarded two new engineers to our payments codebase, and I would welcome the chance to do more of that in your team.

Evidence Used

  • REST API development

    “Designed HTTP services consumed by web and mobile applications.”

  • PostgreSQL in production

    “Maintained PostgreSQL schemas and tuned slow queries.”

  • Mentoring other engineers

    “Onboarded two new engineers to the payments codebase.”

Claim check: no statements the resume does not support.

Applications · Pro

From facts you confirm to an application you approve.

Your profile holds the facts you confirm; ATSCheck reuses nothing else and never guesses legal answers. Your career home shows Resume Health, the next job to check and how your applications are going. Before you apply, read the exact materials prepared for the job and approve them. You submit on the employer's own site; ATSCheck never submits for you.

Curated Service · €299 a month · Not available to buy yet

Let us curate for you.

Curated is a service, not a bigger version of the tool. Share your CV and, if you want, your LinkedIn profile: the ATSCheck team curates and optimises your CV, drafts your cover letters, optimises your LinkedIn profile if you want, applies to roles only with your go-ahead and using the facts you give us, and helps you prepare for interviews. It does not include the Pro tool features. No service can promise interviews or offers, and we do not claim to. Curated is not available to buy yet.

  1. Step 1: Share your CV and the roles

    Send a request from your dashboard with your CV, the roles you are targeting and, if you want, your LinkedIn profile and a job description — up to 5 role or job-support requests a month, each for one target role or job.

  2. Step 2: Our team does the work

    We curate and optimise your CV, draft your cover letters and optimise your LinkedIn profile for those roles, grounded in what you have actually done.

  3. Step 3: We apply with your go-ahead

    With your documents ready and your authority, we apply to the roles you choose using only the facts you give us, keep you posted, and help you prepare for interviews.

  4. Step 4: Talk it through

    Every request has its own message thread with our team in your dashboard, so questions, answers and revisions stay together.
