What is a Resume Checker
A resume checker will scan your resume and compare it to a job description. The checker will show you if your resume is optimized for an ATS and for the job listing. To ensure that the resume is optimized for an ATS, the resume checker will check the formatting and file type. It will compare the text in the resume to see if it matches the skills, keywords, job titles, and education requirements mentioned in the job listing.

What is a good ATS score for a resume?
We recommend a match rate score of 75%. However, many career counselors and YesATS users see success even with just a 65% match rate. There is such a thing as an over-optimized resume. The general rule is that a higher score is better, but it might not be possible to score above 75% without overstuffing your resume with keywords.
