Free ATS check
ATS Resume Checker
Most resumes are rejected by software before a person ever reads them. Careermaxxing's ATS resume checker shows you what that software sees: an ATS score, every red flag ranked by severity, and the exact fixes, free with your first analysis.
What the check covers
Parseability
Whether ATS software can actually read your resume: structure, headings, and formatting that survives parsing.
Red flags, ranked
Unexplained gaps, vague bullets, unproven skills, and missing numbers, ordered by how much each one costs you.
Rewrite suggestions
Specific stronger wording for your weakest bullets, so fixing the resume is editing, not staring at a blank page.
Private and secure
Your resume is analyzed for you alone. It is never shared, sold, or published anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
An ATS (applicant tracking system) is the software most companies use to collect and filter applications before a person reads them. Resumes get filtered out for missing keywords, formats the parser cannot read (tables, graphics, unusual headings), and profiles that do not appear to match the posting. Most rejections happen silently at this stage.
