What our ATS checker measures

Six dimensions that determine whether your CV gets through

Keyword match %

How many of the job description's critical keywords appear in your CV.

Section completeness

Whether your CV has all the sections ATS expects: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills.

Format compliance

Whether your CV structure is ATS-parseable — no tables, columns, or text boxes that break parsing.

Bullet quality

Whether your bullets use strong action verbs and contain quantified outcomes.

Skills density

Whether technical and soft skills from the JD are naturally distributed throughout your CV.

Overall ATS score

A composite 0–100 score reflecting your CV's likelihood of passing automated screening.

What your ATS score means

85–100

Excellent

Your CV will pass ATS at most companies. Focus on interview prep.

70–84

Good

A few keyword gaps remain. One targeted edit session should push you above 85.

55–69

Needs work

Significant keyword gaps detected. ATS will likely filter you out at competitive companies.

0–54

High risk

Your CV is unlikely to pass ATS. Immediate tailoring needed before applying.

Your score is role-specific — not universal

A CV that scores 92 for a Software Engineer role at Amazon may score 54 for a Product Manager role at Zomato. ATS scoring is always relative to the job description. That is why CV Prime checks your score against the specific JD you are applying for — not a generic resume rubric.

ATS checker — frequently asked questions

What is an ATS resume checker?

An ATS resume checker analyses your CV against a specific job description to determine how likely it is to pass the Applicant Tracking System used by that employer. It checks keyword coverage, formatting compliance, section completeness, and bullet quality — giving you a score and actionable improvement list.

How accurate is CV Prime's ATS checker?

Very accurate for keyword-based ATS systems, which is what most Indian companies (including IT companies using Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse, or Lever) use. Our checker identifies missing keywords, weak sections, and formatting violations that actually cause rejections. AI scoring may vary by ±5 points between runs — what matters is the keyword gap analysis.

Do I need to create an account to check my ATS score?

You need a free CV Prime account to run the full ATS check with AI recommendations. Sign up takes 30 seconds — no credit card required.

How do I improve my ATS score after checking?

The checker gives you a list of missing keywords and weak sections. Add the missing keywords naturally into your experience bullets, skills section, and summary. Use CV Prime's AI tailoring feature to do this automatically in under 2 minutes — it inserts keywords from the JD without fabricating any information.

What ATS score do I need to get shortlisted?

Aim for 75+ for targeted applications. Above 85 is excellent. Below 60 for a role you are qualified for usually means keyword gaps, not skill gaps — and those are fixable. For competitive roles (FAANG, top consulting, Big 4), targeting 85+ dramatically improves your callback rate.

Does the ATS checker work for all job types in India?

Yes. CV Prime's ATS checker has been tested against JDs from IT, BFSI, consulting, manufacturing, healthcare, marketing, and operations roles. It understands Indian resume conventions and Indian employer keyword patterns.

What is a good keyword match percentage?

Aim for 70% or above. If 15 critical keywords from the JD appear in your CV (out of 20 identified), you have a 75% match — which is strong. Below 50% is where most ATS rejections happen.
