ATS Resume Checker
JobPilot's ATS resume checker reads your resume the way applicant tracking software does and gives it a score. The Free plan shows your score and top 3 issues; Pro shows every issue and suggests AI fixes that you accept, edit or skip.

How does the resume checker work?
-
Upload your resume
Add a PDF or Word file from your phone. No resume yet? Build one in the app and it's scored as soon as it's done.
-
Get your score
JobPilot checks ATS formatting, keywords for the role you are targeting, bullet quality, length and contact info, then shows your score and the top issues.
-
Fix the issues
Edit your resume yourself, or with Pro let AI suggest a fix for each issue. Nothing changes until you accept it, and the score updates as you go.
What does the resume score check?
The score looks at the same things that decide whether software and recruiters can find what they need in your resume.
-
ATS formatting
Layouts that tracking software can struggle to read. Exported JobPilot templates use a simple, text-based PDF.
-
Keywords for your target role
Whether your resume uses the words employers in that role look for. Missing keywords are listed, never added for you.
-
Bullet quality
Duty-style lines like "Responsible for…", bullets that are too long, and bullets that would be stronger with a real number.
-
Length and contact info
Whether the resume is a sensible length and has the contact details an employer needs to reach you.
Is the resume checker free?
Yes, the score is free. The full issue list and AI fixes are part of Pro, which you can try with the 3-day free trial on the Quarterly plan.
| Free | Pro (Weekly or Quarterly) | |
|---|---|---|
| Resume score | Yes | Yes |
| Issues shown | Top 3 | All issues |
| AI fixes (accept, edit or skip) | No | Yes |
| Score again after edits | Yes | Yes |
What does an AI fix look like?
- Before
- Responsible for helping patients and doing vitals.
- After
- Took vital signs and prepared exam rooms for [number] patients a day.
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software employers use to collect, sort and search job applications. Many rank or filter resumes by how well they match the job description.
Is the resume score free?
Yes. The Free plan includes your resume score and the top 3 issues. Seeing every issue and getting AI fixes are part of Pro.
Which file types can I upload?
PDF and Word (.docx) files. If you do not have a resume, you can build one in the app with the AI resume builder.
Will it change my resume without asking?
No. Every AI fix is a suggestion you accept, edit or skip. AI only rewords what is already in your resume, and a missing keyword is added only when you tap "I have this".
Does a high score guarantee an interview?
No. A high score means your resume is easy for software to read and uses the right words for the role. Hiring decisions still depend on the employer.
What is JobPilot?
JobPilot is an AI job application app that scores how well your resume matches any job and tailors your resume, cover letter and interview prep — without inventing experience.
It is a mobile app for iPhone and Android. You prepare your application in the app and apply on the employer's site yourself: JobPilot never submits applications for you.
