What ATS Actually Sees

ATS parsers extract text differently from people and can lose or reorder content in complex layouts.

Why Job Seekers Choose ResumeAI

Practical tools for reviewing keyword alignment, resume text, AI-assisted drafts, and PDF output.

No Subscription Today

No credit card is currently required. Fair-use limits and third-party availability apply, especially to AI features.

AI-Powered Precision

A curated taxonomy with synonym matching extracts recognized skills. Hugging Face-routed AI drafts bullets, cover letters, and summaries for you to review.

Built for ATS

Fifteen text-based checks flag common content issues. File layout, parsing order, margins, fonts, columns, and images still require manual review.

No Black Boxes.

Scores expose matched and missing taxonomy terms. Saved resumes are stored only when you choose to save them, and request bodies are excluded from access logs.

Private by Design

Your Resume Data Is Yours

You shouldn't have to take our word for it. Every claim below is verifiable.

Storage is explicit

Saved resumes and normal job-tracker use sync through Supabase. Browser storage holds drafts, preferences, and temporary fallback data when cloud storage is unavailable.

AI requests are disclosed

AI text is sent through our backend and Hugging Face to an inference provider. ResumeAI does not store the request body as a saved resume unless you separately choose Save.

You control saved resumes

Saved resumes and version history remain in your account until you delete the resume or account. Account export and deletion controls are available from the Account page.

Your data is not sold

We do not sell resume data. Advertising is planned, but no ad units are currently displayed; cookie and vendor details are disclosed in the Privacy Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ATS filters and how ResumeAI works.

What is an ATS, and how does ResumeAI help?

An applicant tracking system helps employers collect, search, and organize applications. ResumeAI compares the text you paste with a job description and highlights recognized keyword gaps. It cannot predict a hiring decision or reproduce every employer's ATS configuration.

How do I know if my resume is ATS-compatible?

Paste the text of your resume into the ATS Compliance Checker. It runs 15 text-based checks for items such as contact details, standard headings, bullet consistency, measurable results, and common text problems. Because the checker does not inspect an uploaded file, you must review columns, tables, margins, fonts, images, and reading order in the final document yourself.

What keywords should I include in my resume?

Paste an English-language job description into the Keyword Extractor. The taxonomy and synonym matcher identifies recognized hard and soft skills. Gap Analysis then shows which recognized terms also appear in your resume. Always compare the result with the original posting because no fixed taxonomy captures every role.

Is ResumeAI really free? Are there any hidden fees or premium tiers?

There is currently no subscription fee or credit card requirement. Fair-use rate limits apply, especially to AI tools, and availability depends on third-party service quotas. We will disclose any future paid plan before charging for it.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

The public keyword demo works without an account. The remaining tools require a free account. Saved resumes and job-tracker entries use your Supabase-backed account; temporary provider outages can interrupt synchronization and are reported in the interface.

What are the 15 ATS compliance rules you check?

The checker evaluates 15 properties visible in pasted text, including contact details, common section headings, summary and skills sections, bullet usage, measurable results, first-person language, repeated wording, length, and possible special-character issues. It does not inspect the source PDF or DOCX layout.

How accurate is the ATS match score?

The score is an explainable comparison against ResumeAI's curated taxonomy and synonym rules. It is useful for finding wording gaps, but it is not a score from an employer's ATS and does not predict interviews. Employer systems, recruiter searches, knockout questions, and ranking rules vary.

What PDF resume templates are available?

Three single-column templates: Classic (indigo accent with horizontal rules — traditional and widely accepted), Modern (navy header band with teal section accents — clean and contemporary), and Minimal (zero colour, pure black-and-white — maximally conservative). All three are single-column with no graphics, tables, or special characters.

Can I use ResumeAI for any industry or job type?

ResumeAI is designed for English-language job descriptions and currently has strongest taxonomy coverage for technology and knowledge-work roles. Results for specialized trades, non-English text, healthcare, legal, and other regulated fields require especially careful manual review.

Is my resume data private and secure?

Pasted text is sent to our FastAPI backend when you run an analysis or export. AI feature text is also forwarded through Hugging Face to an inference provider. ResumeAI does not put request bodies in access logs. Saved resumes, versions, job-tracker entries, profiles, and shareable score data are stored in Supabase as described in our Privacy Policy.
