Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ATS resume checker?

An ATS resume checker is a tool that analyzes your resume against the criteria used by Applicant Tracking Systems to automatically filter job applications. It checks formatting, structure, keywords, and contact information to ensure your resume will be correctly parsed by these systems.

How does VitamCV's free resume scanner work?

VitamCV's free resume scanner performs a programmatic analysis of your uploaded PDF or DOCX file, checking formatting, section structure, keyword presence, and contact information without using AI or storing your data. Results are displayed instantly.

How to know if my resume passes ATS screening?

A resume passes ATS screening when it uses standard section headings, contains relevant keywords, avoids tables/columns/images, and uses a parseable file format (text-based PDF or DOCX). Our free scanner checks all of these criteria.

What is an ATS score?

An ATS score is a numerical rating (0 to 100) that measures how well a resume aligns with Applicant Tracking System requirements. The higher the score, the more likely your resume is to be correctly parsed and ranked by these systems.

Is VitamCV's resume scanner really free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no email required, and no usage limits. Your file is analyzed in memory and never stored on our servers.

What's the difference between the free scanner and VitamCV?

The free scanner checks your resume's technical compatibility (format, sections, generic keywords). VitamCV goes further: the AI coach analyzes each job posting, identifies specific keywords, rephrases your experiences, and generates a resume optimized for that exact role.

Why isn't a good score enough to land an interview?

A good ATS score means your resume is technically readable by software, but each job posting has its own keywords and requirements. A resume with an 85 score can have 0% match with a specific posting. VitamCV optimizes your resume for each role individually.
