What is an ATS Scanner?
An ATS scanner is a tool that analyses your resume using the same parsing technology as real Applicant Tracking Systems. When you apply for a job, your CV is scanned by ATS software before any human sees it. The scanner extracts text, identifies sections, and searches for keywords.
The problem is that many CV formats break during this scanning process. Tables, columns, graphics, headers, and text boxes often cause sections to be skipped entirely. Our resume scanner shows you exactly what the ATS reads — and what it misses.
Think of it as seeing your CV through the eyes of the algorithm that decides whether you get an interview.
What the ATS Scanner Shows You
Raw Text Parse
See your CV as plain text — exactly what the ATS extracts. Tables and columns become garbled mess.
Keyword Analysis
Compare your CV against job descriptions. See which keywords you have and which you're missing.
Parsing Errors
Identify where the ATS loses content: headers, footers, text boxes, graphics, and complex formatting.
Section Detection
Check if standard sections (Experience, Education, Skills) are correctly identified.
How to Make Your Resume ATS Scannable
Use a single-column layout that reads top to bottom
Avoid tables, text boxes, and multi-column designs
Place contact information in the main body, not headers/footers
Use standard section headings: Experience, Education, Skills
Save as .docx or simple PDF — avoid image-heavy PDFs
Use standard fonts: Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman
Include keywords from the job description naturally
Use simple bullet points (• or -) not graphics
