27 ATS compatibility checks
Every scan runs these checks across parseability, contact info, content quality, keywords, and formatting.
File is readable
ATS must extract text from your file. Scanned image PDFs fail this check.
No tables detected
Tables and pipe characters often break ATS parsing.
Single column layout
Two-column designs confuse parsers — single column is safest.
No problematic text boxes
Text in graphics or boxes may not be extracted.
File size acceptable
Files under 4MB upload reliably across systems.
Email address present
Recruiters need a direct way to reach you.
Phone number present
A phone number increases callback rates.
LinkedIn URL present
LinkedIn gives recruiters more context on your background.
Location mentioned
City and state help with location-based filtering.
Professional email address
Avoid unprofessional handles like partygirl@ or similar.
Summary / profile section
A brief summary sets context in the first 7 seconds.

Education section
Degree and institution help qualify you for roles.
Skills section
A dedicated skills block improves keyword matching.

Bullets are easier for ATS and humans to scan.

Led, built, increased — strong verbs signal impact.
Quantified achievements
Numbers (%, $, team size) prove results.
Date formatting present
Consistent dates help ATS build your timeline.
No weak filler phrases
Replace "responsible for" with achievement bullets.
Resume length
Ideal range is roughly 400–900 words (1–2 pages).

Skills section populated
At least 4 distinct skills strengthens keyword coverage.
Soft skills mentioned
Leadership, communication, and teamwork matter.
Certifications mentioned
Certs add credibility for technical roles.
