Deterministic checks

What this check reviews

Each result points to an observable feature in the file, not a hidden ATS score.

01 · Parseability

Text extraction and structure

Checks for live text and recognisable headings such as summary, experience, skills, and education.

02 · Reading order

Layout risk

Reviews repeated columns, table-like rows, image objects, and mixed bullet styles that may change reading order.

03 · Basics

Contact details and length

Looks for an email, phone number, and a practical page count without judging your experience or qualifications.

A focused format review, not a pass prediction

The checker uses deterministic heuristics to identify common parsing risks. It does not guarantee ATS acceptance, ranking, interviews, or employment outcomes.

Format is only one part

Match the resume to the role after the format is clear

Compare the wording with a real job description, then keep only the claims your career evidence supports.
