What it checks

Six things
software looks at.

Applicant tracking systems turn your resume into plain text before anyone reads it. The checker does the same in your browser (PDFs through the PDF.js library, Word files through their own structure), then scores how much of your resume survives: 0 to 100, from how reliably the text comes out, not from your chances of getting the job.

  1. 01

    Readability

    Whether software can recover the words at all.

  2. 02

    Layout

    Whether the page geometry preserves reading order.

  3. 03

    Sections

    Whether the resume is segmented the way software expects.

  4. 04

    Contact details

    Whether a recruiter can reach you.

  5. 05

    Dates

    Whether your timeline can be reconstructed.

  6. 06

    Writing

    Advice for the person reading it. None of this affects the score.

How it works

From a score
to a fixed resume.

  1. 1

    Upload the file

    A PDF or a Word file. The check runs in your browser, so the file never reaches the server.

  2. 2

    See what software reads

    The score, every issue that could cost you a match, and the plain text in the order a system reads it.

  3. 3

    Fix it in the editor

    Import the file into Nowe CV with one click. Every issue is waiting for you in Check.

Questions

Before you upload.

What is an ATS?

An applicant tracking system: the software that collects applications, turns every resume into plain text and lets recruiters search it. When the text comes out garbled, the resume can drop out of the search before anyone reads it.

Is my file sent anywhere?

No. The check runs in your browser. The file leaves your device only if you choose to fix it in the editor.

What does the score mean?

How reliably the text comes out of the file, from 0 to 100. It does not predict whether you get the job.

Why paste the job posting?

The checker then lists which terms the posting stresses that your resume already has, and which are missing.
