ATS resume checker, grader, and keyword scan — common questions
How does an ATS resume checker work?
An ATS resume checker scans your resume the way applicant tracking software does: it extracts your text, matches it against the job's keywords, and checks formatting that machines can read. RoleSharp scores keyword match, section structure, and bullet quality, then lists exactly what to fix.
What is a good ATS score?
A good ATS score is 80 or above. Below 60 usually means missing keywords or a layout the parser can't read; 60-79 means you're close but should add role-specific terms and quantified bullets. RoleSharp shows your score and the precise gaps so you know what to change.
Is the RoleSharp resume checker free?
Yes. You can check a resume and see your ATS score, keyword gaps, and bullet-level feedback for free, with no watermark. Building a new tailored resume uses your free monthly allowance or a credit; the checker itself is free to use.
Why did my resume fail the ATS?
Most resumes fail the ATS for three reasons: missing keywords from the job description, formatting the parser can't read like tables, columns, or images, or vague bullets with no metrics. The checker flags each of these and tells you the specific fix.
Does the checker work for any country?
Yes. RoleSharp adapts to local hiring norms — US one-page no-photo resumes, Indian resumes with academic details, German CVs, and more. Pick your country and the checker scores against the right format for that market.
Which keywords am I missing?
Paste the job description and the checker extracts the keywords that matter, then shows which already appear in your resume and which are still missing — so you can add the exact terms recruiters and the ATS are scanning for.
