What this checks — and why it matters
Most resumes are rejected before a human reads them. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) parse your resume into fields, and recruiters skim the result in seconds. This checker scores the signals both care about most:
Action verbs — strong resumes lead bullets with verbs like led, built, drove, cut, launched, not passive phrases like "responsible for." Quantified results — numbers (%, $, counts) make impact concrete and are the single biggest differentiator between a weak and strong bullet. Contact completeness — a missing email, phone, or LinkedIn quietly kills callbacks. Length & density — too short reads thin; too long buries your wins. Section structure — clear Experience, Education, and Skills headings help the ATS file you correctly.
