Question 1

What is an ATS scanner?

Accepted Answer

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) scanner analyses your resume against a job description and scores how well it matches the keywords, formatting, and requirements that automated hiring software looks for. Companies like Google, Amazon, and most Fortune 500s use ATS software such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo to filter resumes before a human ever reads them.

Question 2

Why is my resume being rejected before anyone reads it?

Accepted Answer

Most resumes are rejected automatically by ATS software because they lack the exact keywords from the job description, use formatting that ATS parsers cannot read (columns, tables, graphics), or fail to match job title and seniority signals. Our scanner shows you exactly which of these issues apply to your CV.

Question 3

How do I pass an ATS filter?

Accepted Answer

To pass an ATS filter: (1) Match keywords from the job description verbatim, do not paraphrase. (2) Use a single-column, plain text layout without tables or graphics. (3) Include quantified achievements with numbers and metrics. (4) Align your job title with the target role title. Our scanner scores all 10 of these criteria and tells you exactly what to fix.

Question 4

Is Resume ATS Scanner free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get 3 free scans per month with no account required for your first scan. The free plan includes your ATS score, verdict (Pass / Borderline / Filtered), and a full category breakdown. Paid plans (from $19/month) unlock unlimited scans, AI bullet rewrites, and advanced features.

Question 5

Which ATS systems does it simulate?

Accepted Answer

Resume ATS Scanner simulates how five major ATS platforms parse and score your CV: Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo. These five platforms handle the majority of enterprise recruiting in the UK, US, and globally.
