See if your resume will pass an ATS and reach a recruiter. Get an honest score, understand the gaps, and fix them fast.
WisGrowth gives you an honest, recruiter-grade ATS score with specific, practical fixes. If your resume scores 62%, you’ll see exactly why—and how to reach the 70–80% range quickly.
Your resume must be cleanly parsed by ATS and still persuade a human with impact and relevance. Our scan checks parsing quality, keyword match, section structure, readability, and format hazards like tables, columns, icons, and images that break parsers.
How the WisGrowth ATS Score Works
- Parsing quality: Can we extract name, email, phone, sections, and titles cleanly?
- Keyword match: Paste a job description; we flag keyword gaps and skills density.
- Readability & clarity: We surface filler, passive voice, and run-on bullets.
- Format & structure: We catch tables/columns that hide text from parsers.
- Role alignment: We show the top 3 roles your resume already fits.

Top ATS Problems We Fix
- Missing keywords: Your resume says “owner” while the JD says “manager.” Use the resume keyword scanner to close gaps.
- Hidden text: Tables, columns, or images make content unreadable for ATS.
- Vague bullets: Duties without outcomes—get quantified, impact-first rewrites.
- Over-styling: Icons, graphics, and skill bars reduce parsability—and your score.
What Makes WisGrowth Different
Transparency. Many scanners exaggerate. We don’t. You get a precise score, recruiter-grade checks, and guidance tuned for real hiring across technology, product, operations, and marketing. Candidates across the USA, UK, India, Canada, and Australia use our tools for an ATS resume checker, ATS compatibility test, resume score calculator, and job description match.
Example Keywords & Bullets
Product Manager: roadmap, A/B testing, stakeholder management, user research, KPIs.
Software Engineer: Java, Python, React, microservices, CI/CD, cloud, performance optimization.
We highlight keyword density to ensure your strongest skills appear naturally in impact-oriented bullets—no stuffing.
Human Review Still Matters
After ATS ranking, recruiters skim for clarity, credibility, outcomes. Swap fluff for measurable results (e.g., “Reduced cloud spend by 22% via rightsizing and auto-scaling”). Our deep analysis add-on gives tailored examples; coaching offers a rapid 15-minute feedback loop.

Quick Checklist Before You Apply
- Headline aligned: “Senior Product Manager,” not “Product Ninja.”

- Impact bullets: Use numbers (%, $, time saved) and outcomes (“reduced churn by 12%”).
- Simple formatting: Avoid tables/columns/icons that hide text from ATS.
- Readable layout: 10–12pt font, clear headings, adequate spacing.
Common Mistakes That Lower Your ATS Score
- Keyword stuffing: Repetition without context harms readability.
- Overly creative titles: “Growth Wizard” won’t match “Growth Marketing Manager.”
- Graphics-over-text: Skill bars and icons may hide content from parsers.
- PDF scans: Scanned images are unreadable—export a text-based PDF.
