ATS Resume Checker for the USA
See if your resume will pass an ATS and reach a recruiter in the United States. 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 move it into 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 surface keyword gaps and skills density.
- Readability & clarity: We flag 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.

United States: Local Resume Conventions That Help
- Length: 1 page for early career; 2 pages OK for experienced professionals.
- Spelling & tone: Use US spelling consistently (don’t mix styles).
- Dates & region: Month–Year format is safest. Include city/region; full address is optional.
- What not to add: Photos, marital status, or age—generally not expected in US hiring.
Top ATS Problems We Fix
- Missing keywords: Your resume uses “owner” while the JD says “manager”. Use the scanner’s keyword analysis to close that gap.
- Hidden text: Tables, columns, or images can make content unreadable for ATS.
- Vague bullets: Duties without outcomes—swap in quantified, impact-first bullets.
- 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 in the USA, UK, India, Canada, and Australia use our tools for ATS resume checks, ATS compatibility tests, and resume score calculations.
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 so your strongest skills appear naturally in impact-oriented bullets—no stuffing.
Human Review Still Matters
After ATS ranking, recruiters skim for clarity, credibility, outcomes. Replace fluff with measurable results (e.g., “Reduced cloud spend by 22% via rightsizing and auto-scaling”). Deep analysis and optional coaching provide rapid, tailored feedback.
