Free ATS resume checker

See your resume's real match score before you apply

Paste a job posting and the free ATS resume checker scores your real fit out of 100, with four sub-scores and a clear gap analysis. No card needed.

How the free check works

Three steps to a real score

The free ATS resume checker compares the role against your actual experience. You see where you stand before you spend an evening tailoring.

01

Paste the job posting

Drop in the full job description for the role you want. The posting is treated as untrusted input, never as instructions.

02

Add your real resume

Upload a resume to parse, or build your profile from your actual experience. Nothing gets invented for you.

03

Read your score and gaps

Get a match score out of 100, four sub-scores, and an 8 to 12 item gap analysis labeled have, partial, or missing.

What goes into the score

A match score out of 100, four ways

The score is not a black box. It uses fixed weights, so you can see exactly why a role is a 58 and another is an 84.

Skills

35%

How well your real skills line up with what the posting actually asks for.

Experience

30%

Whether your years, scope, and seniority match the level of the role.

Keywords

20%

The exact terms a recruiter or ATS scans for, drawn from the job description.

Education

15%

Degrees, certifications, and credentials measured against the listed requirements.

Then the gap analysis

Alongside the score you get an 8 to 12 item breakdown of the role's requirements, each labeled so you know exactly what to do next.

Have

Clear evidence already in your resume. These are the strengths to lead with.

Partial

Related experience that needs sharper wording or a concrete example to land.

Missing

Requirements your resume does not show yet, so you can decide whether to apply.

It scores your real fit

An honest checker, not a keyword stuffer

Plenty of tools promise to game the ATS for you by jamming in keywords you cannot back up. That gets you past the filter and then sunk in the interview.

Creastora does the opposite. The free ATS resume checker measures your real match and shows the gaps plainly, including the requirements you are missing.

The job posting is treated as untrusted input, so a posting cannot inject instructions or push the checker to overstate your fit. The score reflects you, not the listing's wishlist.

Honesty is enforced in code

When you move on to generate a tailored resume, a grounding step removes any skill it cannot trace to your real experience. Your true current job title is always kept, never the target role's title. The whole point is that it does not fabricate.

What is free, what is Pro

Common questions

Before you run your first check

Is the ATS resume checker free?

Yes. The match score, the four sub-scores, and the full gap analysis are free on every plan. You create a free account to run a check, and the free plan covers 3 applications a month with no card required.

Do you store my resume?

Your profile, resumes, and saved jobs stay tied to your account in a private workspace. They are not posted to an employer marketplace or shared publicly. You can read the details in the privacy policy.

How accurate is the score?

The score uses deterministic weighting: skills 35%, experience 30%, keywords 20%, education 15%. It measures your real fit against the posting, so it is consistent. Re-running the same job never lowers your score.

Does it inflate my resume to beat the ATS?

No. The checker scores your real fit and shows the gaps honestly. When you generate a tailored resume, a grounding step removes any skill it cannot trace to your actual experience.
