Scoring with AI
This takes about 10 seconds.
What we check for
A serious audit, not a vibes check
Six categories scored from 0 to 100. The full breakdown is yours to keep — no email required.
Content & Impact
Action verbs, quantified outcomes, no "responsible for" filler. We score every bullet for measurable impact.
Skills Coverage
Are your skills modern, relevant, and aligned with the role you're targeting? We check for a real skills section, not just keywords.
Completeness
Contact info, summary, experience descriptions, education — every required section accounted for. Missing a piece costs you interviews.
Brevity & Clarity
Recruiters skim in 6 seconds. We score for scannable bullets, sensible length, and no walls of text.
Remote-Readiness
No other tool checks this. We score how well your resume signals distributed-team competence — async tools, written-first culture, time-zone clarity.

ATS-FRIENDLY VS NOT
Same person. Same achievements. Two very different outcomes.
The fancy version dies in Workday's parser. The plain version walks straight through. Most candidates never see the difference until they stop hearing back.
Two-column layout · photo · skill bars
- ✗ Photo dropped — most parsers can't OCR it
- ✗ Two columns merge into a single jumbled stream
- ✗ Skill bars become
Figma Notion Linear Loomwith no proficiency - ✗ Icon characters (📞 ✉ 📍) corrupt the contact field
Single column · plain headings · linear flow
- ✓ Name, role, and contact parse into clean fields
- ✓ Standard
SUMMARY · EXPERIENCE · SKILLSheadings recognised by every ATS - ✓ Single column means bullets stay attached to the right job
- ✓ Skills section searchable as a flat keyword list
Same candidate, same achievements. The ATS Compatibility category catches every formatting choice that costs you keywords — and tells you exactly which ones to fix.

-
Is the ATS Resume Checker really free?
Yes. There is no paywall, no signup wall, and no email required to get your score and full breakdown. RemoWork Pro adds AI-powered fixers (Bullet Coach, Summary Studio) inside the resume builder — but the audit itself is free and complete on its own. -
Will my resume be stored or shared?
No. Your resume file is read into memory, scored, and discarded. Nothing is written to disk on our servers, nothing is shared with third parties, and nothing is used to train models. -
What ATS systems does this check against?
The checker mirrors the parsing rules used by the major modern ATS platforms — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, and iCIMS. We flag the formatting patterns (multi-column layouts, embedded tables, exotic fonts, image-only contact info) that trip those parsers up most often. -
How accurate is the AI score?
The 0-to-100 score is composed of six rule-based and AI-graded categories. The deterministic checks (formatting, completeness, length, sections) are essentially exact. The AI-graded checks (impact, clarity, remote-readiness) reflect the same criteria experienced recruiters use, calibrated against thousands of real resumes. It is a strong directional signal — not a hiring decision. -
What file formats can I upload?
PDF and DOCX up to 5 MB. PDF works best because what you see is what the ATS sees. Avoid scanned-image PDFs — those parse poorly everywhere, including with our checker. -
Why does targeting a specific role improve the score?
Optional, but providing a target role (e.g. "Senior React Engineer, Remote Customer Success Manager") sharpens the Skills Coverage and Content & Impact scores. We compare your resume against the keyword and seniority signals that ATS keyword filters and recruiters look for in that exact role. -
What's the Remote-Readiness score about?
It is unique to RemoWork. We score whether your resume signals competence in distributed-team work — explicit async-collaboration tools (Slack, Loom, Notion, Linear), written-first cultural cues, time-zone clarity, and outcome ownership across asynchronous handoffs. Most resumes that read well on paper still miss this entirely.
