What the check covers
A Score Is Not Enough. See What Drives It.
A useful ATS check should help you understand the document, not just hand you a number.
Section structure
Look for clear contact, summary, experience, education, and skills information.
Keyword relevance
Compare important job language against terms already represented in the resume.
Readability
Flag overly dense content and help keep the document easy to scan for both software and people.
Contact information
Check for basic contact details that a recruiter needs to reach you.
Actionable next steps
See what is already strong, what deserves review, and what to fix first.
ATS + job relevance
A Clean Resume Can Still Be a Weak Match for the Job
Formatting tells you whether the resume is readable. Job matching tells you whether the document clearly presents the skills and experience that matter for this specific role. Resume Vexa keeps those two questions separate.

FAQ
ATS Checker Questions
Can an ATS checker guarantee my resume will pass?+
No. Different employers use different systems, parsing rules, scoring models, and recruiter processes. Resume Vexa uses its score as an optimization guide, not a guarantee.
Can I upload my current PDF or DOCX resume?+
Yes. Text-based PDF, DOCX, and TXT files can be loaded into the checker. Always review the extracted text because complex documents can parse differently.
Should I add every missing keyword?+
No. Add a term only when it genuinely reflects your skills or experience. Keyword optimization should improve clarity, not create false qualifications.
Is the ATS check free?+
The core ATS checker is designed for free access. Optional support payments are separate and do not change your score.
