ATS CV Checker

Most CVs are rejected by software before a human sees them. Check whether yours parses cleanly and matches the job description — then fix it in minutes with Resumere.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) parses your CV into fields before a recruiter reviews it. If the parser mangles your layout or misses key terms, you're filtered out — whether you applied direct, through Reed, TotalJobs, CV-Library or Indeed, or via an agency. Resumere's checker flags parsing and keyword issues against a specific job description, then helps you fix them.

What it checks

Parsing — does the ATS read your CV sections correctly?
Keyword match against the job description
Formatting risks (tables, columns, graphics, headers/footers)
Standard section headings ATS expects
File type and structure
Missing must-have skills for the role

Frequently asked questions

1
Is the ATS CV checker free?
You can check your CV's ATS-readiness for free. You pay per use only if you then generate or export the fixed, JD-tailored version.
2
Which ATS does it check against?
The checks reflect how the parsers UK employers run (Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, Lever) read a CV — clean structure, standard headings, and keyword presence.
3
Does it score my CV or review it?
Both — it's one check, not three products. You get an ATS-readiness read, a keyword-match score against the job description you paste in, and specific, prioritised feedback on what to rewrite. There's no separate scoring tool to buy and no waiting on a reviewer.
4
How long should a UK CV be to pass ATS?
Two pages is the UK norm for experienced roles and one page is fine early-career; the ATS itself doesn't cap length. What actually breaks parsing is layout — columns, tables, text boxes, and contact details buried in the header or footer, where many parsers never look.
