See the exact issues and missing keywords, then reforge your resume with guided AI fixes.
An Applicant Tracking System parses your resume into a structured database and ranks it against the job description before any recruiter reads it. Resumes with non-standard headings, tables, graphics, or missing keywords are silently filtered out — no rejection email, no feedback, no second chance. Running an ATS check first turns that black box into a checklist you can act on.
ReForgedCV’s checker reads your resume the way parsing software does: it verifies your sections are recognizable, your dates and titles are machine-readable, and your skills actually match the language employers search for. You get a 0–100 compatibility score plus the specific issues holding it down.
Your resume is scored across five categories: ATS compatibility (parseable structure and standard headings), keyword coverage (the hard skills and titles recruiters filter on), impact (quantified achievements instead of duty lists), formatting (clean single-column layout without parsing traps), and completeness (contact details, dates, and section coverage).
Alongside the score you’ll see the exact issues found — from a summary that buries your title to bullets with no measurable outcome — and the keywords your resume is missing for your target roles. Fix them, re-upload, and watch the score move.
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that parses, stores, and ranks resumes before recruiters review them. It rejects or buries resumes it cannot parse (complex layouts, tables, images) or that lack the keywords the recruiter filtered on — which is why qualified candidates often never hear back.
Yes. You can run several checks per hour without creating an account. Signing up (also free) unlocks unlimited checks, the full issue list, AI-powered fixes, and job-description matching.
PDF and DOCX. These are also the two formats real Applicant Tracking Systems handle most reliably, so what our parser sees closely mirrors what an employer’s ATS will see.
Anonymous checks are processed to generate your score and are not attached to any account. If you sign up, your resume is stored securely so you can edit it, and you can export or delete your data at any time (GDPR compliant).
Aim for 75 or higher before applying. Scores between 50 and 74 usually pass parsing but lose ranking to better-optimized resumes; below 50 means structural or keyword problems are likely filtering you out automatically.
