- Section scores (Summary, Experience, Skills, Education) for screening readability

How to run an ATS resume check for one job
Step 1
Upload the resume you'd submit
PDF or pasted text — the version you'd attach, not a rough draft.
Step 2
Paste the full job description
Requirements and responsibilities drive keyword coverage; short blurbs hide must-haves.
Step 3
Fix weakest sections first
Read section scores and requirement gaps, edit your real file, then re-check if needed.
