See the Job Application PackWhat the ATS score measures
The score is a weighted summary of three sub-scores. Each sub-score points to the exact evidence in your resume, so you always know which line moved the number.
Keyword match (with a job description)
Required terms from the posting carry more weight than preferred ones; explicitly excluded requirements are left out. You see each requirement with the matching evidence in your resume, or a clear gap. Without a job description this sub-score is reported as unavailable instead of guessing.
Resume structure
The checker looks for readable contact details and recognizable sections such as experience, education, and skills. It reports what the extracted text actually contains, not what the layout suggests.
Format and parsing signals
A text layer that scans cleanly, consistent reading order, and no missing characters. These signals predict how safely an employer parser can read the file, before any human sees it.
ATS score ranges: what the number means
What is a good ATS score here? These ranges describe the labels in the CheckATS v1 report when a job description is present. They are editing priorities, not validated hiring thresholds.
- 80–100: Stronger coverage of the signals our rules inspect. Read the remaining evidence and verify the file before applying; a high total can still hide an important missing qualification.
- 60–79: Some useful coverage, with gaps worth reviewing. Start with missing required evidence or a parsing warning instead of adding every term from the posting.
- 0–59: More review is needed under these rules. First check whether extraction lost text or the posting targets a different role; do not invent experience to raise the number.
Without a job description, the job-match score is N/A. Compare revisions against the same posting: scores from different jobs are not equivalent, and no range is an employer’s pass line.
Read the scoring rules and their limitsHow to raise your ATS score
Work in the order the report suggests. Most scores move after two or three focused edits followed by a recheck of the same job description.
- 1. Fix parsing problems first. If the extracted text is missing lines or scrambled, every other score is unreliable. Simplify the layout and re-upload before editing keywords.
- 2. Close real keyword gaps. Add missing required terms only where your experience supports them, using the same wording as the posting. One concrete evidence sentence beats three keyword mentions.
- 3. Recheck the same target. Keep the job description fixed, change a few sections, and run the score again. Compare your own revisions under the same rules instead of chasing a universal pass line.
