How a check works

  1. 1

    Add your resume

    Upload a PDF or DOCX file up to 5 MB, or paste the text. Text-based PDFs work best; scanned images of text cannot be read reliably.

  2. 2

    Add the job description

    Paste the full posting. Every check, Free included, is measured against it.

  3. 3

    Review the report

    Scores with plain-language labels, each requirement with its evidence, and a prioritised list of fixes.

Job Requirements

ATSCheck Intelligence

REST API development

Strong evidenceRelated wording — strong evidence

The resume never says “REST API”, but it describes designing HTTP services that other applications consume. That is the substance of the requirement.

From the resumeExperience · Backend Engineer

Designed HTTP services consumed by web and mobile applications.

Consider: Name the API style and scale if you know them, for example the number of client applications.

Inside the Report

Clear findings, with context.

ATSCheck separates document readability from role evidence, then shows the findings and the resume lines behind them.

ATS readability
Formatting and structure issues that may affect how applicant tracking systems read the document.
Role evidence
The resume lines that support each requirement, and a clear note when evidence is not present.
Priorities
The improvements most relevant to this application, presented in a practical order.

An independent analysis

ATSCheck is not affiliated with any applicant tracking system. Employers use different systems configured in different ways, so no score can predict how a particular employer’s system will behave, and none guarantees an interview.
