ATS Score Checker — How to Check if Your Resume Passes ATS

Wondering if your resume will pass ATS screening? Here's how to check and improve your score.

What is an ATS Score? An ATS score is a numerical rating (usually 0-100) that indicates how well your resume matches a specific job description. Higher scores mean better chances of passing the ATS filter.

How ATS Scoring Works:

- Keyword Match (40%): How many required skills and terms appear in your resume

- Formatting (20%): Whether your resume has clear, standard sections

- Quantified Results (20%): Whether you use numbers and metrics

- Skills Section (10%): Whether you have a clear, comprehensive skills section

- Length (10%): Whether your resume is the right length (1-2 pages)

How to Check Your ATS Score:

1. Use a free ATS checker tool (like Unfiltered AI's ATS Score Checker)

2. Manually compare your resume to the job description — count keyword matches

3. Ask a friend in HR or recruiting to review your resume

How to Improve Your Score:

- Add missing keywords from the job description

- Quantify your achievements with numbers

- Use standard section headers

- Remove complex formatting (tables, columns, graphics)

- Save as DOCX instead of PDF

The fastest way: Upload your resume to Unfiltered AI, paste the job description, and get an ATS-optimized version in seconds.
