Check My ResumeWhat Is an ATS Resume Checker?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume checker analyzes your resume against a specific job description and tells you how well it will perform when processed by automated screening software.
Most large companies — Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Stripe, Airbnb, and thousands of others — use ATS to filter applications before a recruiter ever sees them. Your resume must match specific keywords, formatting requirements, and structural patterns to pass.
adjiQ's ATS checker gives you a match score (0–100%), highlights missing keywords, and flags formatting issues that cause parsing failures.
What adjiQ Checks
Keyword Match Rate — How many keywords from the job description appear in your resume. Target: 75%+
Hard Skills Coverage — Required technical skills (languages, frameworks, tools) present vs. missing
Soft Skills — Leadership, communication, and collaboration signals that ATS looks for
Formatting Issues — Tables, columns, headers/footers, special characters, and graphics that break ATS parsing
Section Detection — Are your sections named correctly? "Experience" vs "Work History" can affect parsing
Date Consistency — Inconsistent date formats confuse ATS date parsers
File Format — PDF vs DOCX compatibility varies by ATS system
How to Improve Your ATS Score
1. Match the exact keywords from the job posting — ATS does exact and fuzzy matching 2. Use standard section headings: "Experience", "Education", "Skills", "Certifications" 3. Avoid tables, text boxes, columns, and images 4. Use a clean single-column format 5. Include both spelled-out and abbreviated versions: "Machine Learning (ML)" 6. Quantify achievements: "reduced latency by 40%" beats "improved performance" 7. Submit as PDF for most companies; DOCX for companies that explicitly request it
adjiQ automates all of these improvements with one click after the analysis.
ATS Checker for Tech Resumes
Generic ATS checkers miss the nuances of technical roles. adjiQ understands tech-specific requirements:
• Knows that "K8s" and "Kubernetes" are equivalent • Understands seniority signals (Staff, Senior, Lead, Principal) • Recognizes cloud provider specifics (AWS vs GCP vs Azure) • Parses coding language versions (Python 3.x, Java 17, Node 20) • Handles data/ML role keywords (dbt, Airflow, MLflow, Ray)
Built specifically for engineers, data scientists, and tech professionals.
