Before the next application
Three things worth checking before you send your resume.
It is hard to fix a problem when you cannot see it. These are the checks many applicants overlook.
02 / Evidence
“Have I explained what I actually did?”
A skills list or a vague bullet point may tell a recruiter too little about your experience, even when you have relevant work to show.
Specific tasks and honest examples.
03 / Role fit
“Does this resume match the job?”
The same resume can leave out useful details for different roles. A job-specific comparison helps you spot them.
Job-description matching: paid plans.
Sample ATS resume report
Don’t stop at the number. Look at what you can fix.
A good ATS resume checker should make the next edit easier to understand. Explore this sample to see the kinds of readability, writing and job-match questions worth asking.
Sample report details
Illustrative- 01
Check whether contact information is readable
Important information should sit in normal document text, not only inside an image or text box.
- 02
Use consistent experience dates
Use the same date format for each role to make your work history easier to interpret.
- 03
Keep section names familiar
Experience, Education, Projects and Skills are clearer than creative section labels.
Why check first
Work on the problem, not just the ATS score.
The point of a resume check is to make your next draft more useful. Start with what the feedback tells you.
Make details easy to find.
Review contact information, headings, dates and the reading order. Good formatting helps people too.
ATS readabilityMake your experience clearer.
Turn vague responsibilities into specific, accurate examples a recruiter can understand.
Resume contentShow why you fit the job.
Compare the job requirements with work you have genuinely done. Leave out skills you cannot demonstrate.
Job match on paid plansKeep improving your draft.
Edit in the resume builder, check the report again and revisit the sections that still need work.

“Worked on reports.”
The task, tool and responsibility are not clear.
“Maintained the weekly Excel sales report and checked duplicate entries before submitting it.”
The revision names the work. It does not invent a percentage improvement.

ATS score explained
Is 85 a good ATS score?
It can be a useful goal inside a particular resume checker. It is not an official cutoff used by every employer.
An ATS can extract and organise resume information. A commercial checker may also assess formatting, writing and job relevance. Each product sets its own scoring rules, so the number is not a universal hiring prediction.
A more useful question: which problem does the score point to, and is that problem real?
0 of 5 reviewed
A preparation checklist, not an ATS scan or a score calculation.
Your resume is personal
Understand how your information is handled.
A resume can contain personal contact details, education and work history. Check the policy before adding it to any online tool.
You can delete your resume.
Resumes and job descriptions are kept until you delete them or close your account. An uploaded file is read and not stored.
Your content is not sold.
Walkin24 does not sell personal data or use your content to train AI models.
The service is for adults.
Walkin24 accounts are available to people aged 18 and above.

ATS resume checker FAQs.

Is Walkin24’s ATS resume checker free?
Yes. On the free plan you can upload your resume and see its ATS score with a breakdown and suggestions, and build one resume. Job-description matching, AI resume improvement, more resumes and Word downloads are part of paid plans.
How do I check my resume’s ATS score?
Create a free account, upload your resume and review the report: an overall score, ATS compatibility, structure, keywords, content and specific suggestions. You can then edit the resume in the Walkin24 builder.
Can I upload a PDF or Word resume to scan it?
Yes. You can upload a PDF, DOC or DOCX file of up to 10 MB. Walkin24 reads it to build the report and an editable copy; the uploaded file itself is not stored.
Is 85 a passing ATS score?
No. Different products use different scoring criteria, and there is no universal passing score across employer applicant tracking systems. Read the findings behind the number instead of treating it as a hiring decision.
Does an ATS-friendly resume guarantee an interview?
No. Clear formatting makes your resume easier to read and may reduce some parsing problems, but a recruiter still considers role fit, qualifications and other requirements. A score does not guarantee a shortlist or interview.
Is an ATS score the same as a job-match score?
No. A general score helps you review readability and content, while a job-match check compares your resume with a particular vacancy. Walkin24 lists job-description matching as a paid feature.
Can freshers check a resume without work experience?
Yes. Relevant education, internships, college projects, volunteering and skills with evidence can help explain what you have done. Never add a fake job or skill just to increase a score. Walkin24 accounts are for people aged 18 or older.
What should I do if my resume score is low?
Start with practical problems: unreadable text, unclear section headings, incorrect dates, missing contact details or vague descriptions. Make changes that are accurate and relevant. Do not repeat keywords simply to chase a higher score.
