Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to filter and rank job applications. It scans your cover letter and resume for relevant keywords from the job description. If your application does not contain enough matching terms, it may be automatically filtered out before a human ever reads it.
What is a good ATS score?
A score above 80 is excellent and means your cover letter closely matches the job description keywords. Scores between 60-80 are strong but could benefit from minor tweaks. Below 60, you should consider adding more relevant keywords and phrases from the job posting to improve your chances of passing ATS filters.
How does this ATS checker work?
Our checker uses TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) analysis to extract the most important keywords from the job description, then scans your cover letter for those keywords. It calculates a match rate and cosine similarity score between the two documents, giving you a weighted score from 0 to 100.
Is this ATS checker free?
