Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ResumeScanner and ATS optimization.
What is an ATS and why does it matter?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to automatically screen resumes before a human ever reads them. Over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS. If your resume isn't optimized for it, it gets filtered out — no matter how qualified you are.
How does ResumeScanner work?
You upload your resume (PDF or DOCX) and paste the job description you're applying to. Our AI engine parses both, compares keyword coverage, skills match, experience relevance, and formatting quality — then gives you a detailed score with specific, actionable fixes.
Is my resume data stored?
No. Your resume text is processed in memory and never saved to our database. Scan results (score, feedback) are stored so you can review your history — but raw resume text is never logged or shared.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Sign up for free to try the scanner — no credit card needed. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited scans, full analysis, and all features.
What file formats are supported?
We support PDF and DOCX. PDF is preferred — it's the most reliable format for ATS parsing and for our engine to extract clean text.
Does ResumeScanner help me rewrite my resume?
ResumeScanner tells you exactly what to fix and why. It highlights missing keywords, weak sections, and formatting issues. The actual edits are yours to make — which ensures your resume stays authentic.
What ATS systems does the score simulate?
Our scoring model is calibrated against the common denominators of major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS, Taleo). We focus on universal best practices rather than gaming a single system.
How much does it cost?
Free: try the scanner at no cost. Pro: ₹499/month — unlimited scans, full analysis, cover letter generator, resume builder, and PDF reports. See the Pricing page for details.
