Free ATS resume checker, scored against the job you want
A generic ATS score tells you little. SealApply scores your resume against the specific posting you paste, so you can see which keywords are missing and whether a tailored draft actually improved.
Updated October 28, 2026
What the checker reports
- Keyword coverage: which of the posting's skills and terms your resume already uses.
- Match percentage for this job.
- An ATS-compatibility estimate for the resume's structure.
- The keywords still missing.
How to use it
- Paste the job description. Or capture it from the careers page with the SealApply browser widget.
- Score your current resume. See coverage and match before changing anything.
- Tailor. Let SealApply reword your real experience toward the posting.
- Re-score. Keep iterating until the numbers and the wording both hold up.
A note on ATS myths
No tool can promise a resume will pass an ATS, because every employer configures screening differently. What reliably helps is using the posting's language and a clean, parseable layout. SealApply's templates are single-column and export as text-based PDFs for that reason.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SealApply ATS checker free?
Yes. Checking your resume against a job description is free, with no subscription and no paid download.
What is a good ATS match score?
Treat it as a relative measure rather than a pass mark: aim to cover the skills the posting lists that you genuinely have. Re-scoring after tailoring shows whether a draft improved.
Does an ATS automatically reject resumes?
Most systems rank and filter rather than auto-reject, and recruiters search them by keyword. Missing the posting's key terms makes a resume harder to find, which is what the checker helps you fix.
Can I check my resume without uploading it to a server?
Yes. SealApply parses and scores your resume in your browser and does not store it on a server.
