Your resume is being
judged by robots

Invisible applications

If your resume score is below 50, most ATS systems auto-reject it. Your application is deleted before a human ever sees your name.

🔍

Keyword black holes

ATS systems match your resume against job-specific keywords. Missing even one critical term — like “stakeholder management” instead of “worked with clients” — can filter you out.

📊

Metrics win interviews

Resumes with quantified achievements (“grew revenue 40%”) score dramatically higher than vague bullets (“responsible for sales”). ATS systems are trained to weight numbers.

📄

Formatting traps

Tables, columns, graphics, and fancy templates break ATS parsing. Your beautiful Canva resume might render as gibberish to the robot reading it first.

Common questions about
resume ATS scores

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score measures how well your resume can be read and ranked by the software that 75% of employers use to automatically screen job applications. A low ATS score means your resume is likely being rejected before a human recruiter ever sees it. Scores below 50 typically result in automatic rejection.

You can check your resume score for free at CVRoast.com. Simply paste your resume text or upload a PDF/DOCX file, and you'll receive an instant ATS compatibility score out of 100 with 5 specific points of feedback. No signup or email required.

Below 30 means your resume needs major work and is almost certainly being auto-rejected. 30–50 is below average with likely missed callbacks. 50–70 is competitive but has room for improvement. 70+ means your resume is well-optimized for ATS systems. Most people score between 30–60 on their first check.

The most common reason is that your resume is being filtered out by ATS software before a human sees it. Common issues include vague bullet points without metrics, missing industry keywords, formatting that breaks ATS parsing (tables, columns, graphics), and generic professional summaries. Check your ATS score free to find out exactly what’s wrong.

The fastest improvements: Add numbers and metrics to every bullet point. Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills). Include keywords from the job description. Remove tables, columns, and graphics that break ATS parsing. Replace vague language like “responsible for” with specific action verbs and outcomes.

Yes, the ATS score and 5 specific feedback points are completely free with no signup required. If you want a full professional rewrite of your resume with ATS-optimized language and achievement metrics, that’s available for a one-time fee of $4.99 — a fraction of what human resume writers charge.
