ATS Resume Checker India — Free Resume Scan & Honest Score | WisGrowth

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. It’s the software many companies and portals use to read and organise resumes before a human recruiter sees anything. An ATS resume score is a way of estimating how well your resume will match a specific job when it passes through such a system.

At WisGrowth, the score looks at:

• Whether your contact details and sections can be cleanly extracted.
• How closely your skills and responsibilities match the job description.
• Whether the formatting is ATS-safe (no hidden text, no complicated tables).
• How clear and impact-focused your bullets are.

The goal is not to chase a “perfect” number, but to remove obvious blockers and make sure your resume is both readable by systems and compelling for humans.

Naukri and similar job portals use automated parsing and keyword-based search that behave very similarly to an ATS. When you upload your resume, the system tries to extract:

• Your name and contact details.
• Your current and previous job titles.
• Total years of experience and location.
• Skills and tools mentioned in your resume.

Recruiters then search for candidates using keywords like “React developer Gurgaon 3–5 years”. If your resume is poorly formatted or does not mention those skills clearly in text, you may never show up in their search—even if you’re actually a great fit.

The WisGrowth ATS resume checker helps you clean up formatting and highlight the right keywords so that both Naukri and company ATS systems can understand your profile faster.

For most Indian hiring scenarios:

• Direct company portals / email: A clean, text-based PDF is usually best.
• Naukri / job boards: DOC or DOCX is often preferred when you upload a resume, because their systems were originally built around Word files.

The real issue is not PDF vs Word—it’s whether your file contains selectable text or is just an image. Scanned PDFs, image-heavy templates, and complex tables can break parsing in both formats.

WisGrowth supports both PDF and DOCX. We recommend:

• Single-column layout with standard headings (“Experience”, “Education”, “Skills”).
• No text inside images or icons.
• Exporting a fresh PDF from Word/Google Docs instead of scanning a printed page.

Once the format is clean, your ATS score will mostly depend on content and keywords, not file type.

For modern Indian corporate roles—especially in tech, product, finance, consulting, startups and MNCs—you usually do not need to add:

• Photograph
• Marital status
• Age or date of birth
• Religion or detailed family information

These details do not help your ATS score, and they can create bias. Instead, invest that space in impactful bullets and a clear skills section.

There are a few exceptions:

• Modelling, acting and certain entertainment roles where a portfolio or headshot is standard.
• Specific government / PSU roles that explicitly ask for age and other personal information.

WisGrowth’s default guidance is tuned for private-sector, skill-focused hiring in India, where outcomes and proof matter much more than personal details.

Many global ATS tools are calibrated mainly on US-style resumes and job descriptions. They may still be helpful, but they sometimes misjudge Indian titles, formats and contexts.

The WisGrowth ATS resume checker for India is different because it:

• Understands common Indian role labels and variations (e.g., “Senior Software Engineer” vs “Software Developer”).
• Assumes Naukri-style searches and company portals, not just US enterprise ATS tools.
• Focuses on clarity and proof, not just keyword stuffing to reach 99% match.
• Connects directly with tools like the job description keyword scanner and career-test-online.

Instead of only telling you “add more keywords,” we help you understand which story your resume currently tells—and how to align that story with the roles you actually want in India and abroad.

You don’t need to scan for every single application. A good rule of thumb:

• Scan once when you create a new resume for a different role family (e.g., dev → PM).
• Scan again when you make major changes in responsibilities or skills.
• Scan when you shift geography focus (India-only → India + USA, etc.).

Between scans, you can keep doing smaller edits (tweaking keywords, adjusting bullets) without rerunning the full analysis each time. The aim is to improve signal, not obsess over numbers.

You can maintain a single master resume but it’s smart to create small variants:

• One tuned for India (Naukri + Indian portals + domestic roles).
• One tuned for global roles (US/Canada/Europe/Australia) with slightly different examples and spelling.

Core achievements don’t change, but:

• You may highlight different projects depending on market expectations.
• You may adjust terminology (e.g., “FY” vs “Q1/Q2”, “LPA” vs “annual salary”).
• You may trim or expand certain sections like exams, board percentages, etc.
