Resume analysis
Upload a PDF, DOCX or TXT resume and paste the job description you are applying for. The ATS Scorer compares the two, shows which role keywords you already cover and which are missing, checks your sections and contact details, and gives you a prioritised list of fixes. Your file is read in your browser.
Included in every Access Pass, from ₹299. One-time payment, nothing auto-renews.
When you apply through a company career site or many job portals, your resume usually goes into an applicant tracking system before a person sees it. The ATS extracts the text from your file, tries to identify sections such as experience, education and skills, and stores it so recruiters can search and filter candidates by job title, skill, location and experience.
Two things decide whether this works in your favour. First, the software has to read your file correctly: multi-column layouts, tables, text boxes, headers and footers can scramble the order of text, and a PDF made of images may not be readable at all. Second, your resume has to contain the words a recruiter is likely to search for, which usually come straight from the job description.
The score is an alignment estimate between your resume and the job description you paste. Keywords carry 60% of the weight: role-specific terms from the job description that also appear in your resume. Sections carry 20%: a summary, skills, experience, education and contact details. Formatting carries the last 20%: an email address, phone number, profile links, enough bullet points and a word count in the recommended 250–900 range.
Scores of 80 and above are labelled excellent alignment, 65–79 strong, 50–64 moderate, and below 50 needs improvement. Employers configure their own ATS products differently, so treat the number as a guide to what to fix, not a prediction of any employer's decision.
Work through the action plan from top to bottom; the first items usually matter most.
Two Java developer roles can ask for very different things – one wants microservices and Kafka, another wants Angular and SQL Server. Because most of the score comes from keyword overlap, the same resume will score differently for each posting. Check every job you are serious about, then use Resume Tailoring to save a version that fits it.
On HireToolX, 65 or above means strong alignment with the job description and 80 or above is excellent. Below 50 usually means important role keywords or sections are missing. There is no universal cut-off, because every employer sets up its own system, so focus on fixing the specific gaps the report shows rather than chasing a number.
No. The ATS Scorer is included in every HireToolX Access Pass: ₹299 for 30 days, ₹699 for 90 days or ₹1,199 for 180 days. It is a one-time payment, nothing auto-renews, and all HireToolX tools are unlocked for the period. Passes are non-refundable. The ATS Scorer itself has no daily check limit.
No. A high score means your resume is readable and uses the language of the job description. Recruiters still judge relevance, experience level, notice period, location and many other factors. A strong score improves your chances of being found and understood; it is not a promise from any employer.
The ATS Scorer reads your file and runs the comparison in your browser. If you choose Edit in Resume Builder or Tailor to this role, the resume is carried into those tools so you can keep working on it. You can remove the file and start a new check at any time.
Most portals accept both. What matters is that the text can be selected and copied. Open your file and try highlighting a line: if you cannot select the words, an ATS probably cannot read them either. In that case, upload a Word (DOCX) version. Avoid scanned resumes and image-heavy designs for online applications.
Yes. Copy the full job description from any posting – Naukri, LinkedIn, Instahyre, a company careers page or an email from a recruiter – and paste it into the job description box. Include the responsibilities and requirements, not only the title, because that is where most of the keywords come from.
