What is ATS resume matching?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software screens resumes before recruiters see them. Resume Buddy AI compares your resume to the JD's required skills and experience, returning a 0–100 score and a gap list.

Is Resume Buddy AI free?

During early access you get 1 free full analysis per day; share with friends for 1 bonus run the same day. Includes keyword gaps, AI-optimized resume, PDF/Word export, and history in My account.

Which resume formats are supported?

PDF and DOCX. Use text-based files (not scanned images) for best parsing accuracy.

How long does analysis take?

AI analysis usually takes 30–90 seconds. Keep the tab open, then preview and download your optimized resume.

Does Resume Buddy AI generate interview questions?

Yes. After your resume–JD analysis completes, you get tailored interview questions based on the role, your experience gaps, and the job requirements—useful for behavioral and technical prep.

How is a resume analyzer different from a simple spell check?

A resume analyzer compares your resume against a specific job description: ATS match score, missing required keywords, and an optimized draft. Spell check only fixes grammar—it does not measure fit to the JD.

ATS Resume Checker: Free Score Your Resume Against Any Job

How to use Resume Buddy AI before you apply, what the match score means, and your free daily analysis quota.

Applicant Tracking Systems filter resumes before a recruiter ever opens your file. If your resume does not mention the skills and tools in the job description, you can be rejected automatically—even with strong experience.

Resume Buddy AI is built for that moment: upload a PDF or DOCX resume, paste the full job description, and get an ATS match score plus missing required keywords in about a minute.

What you get each day

You get 1 free full analysis per day: complete keyword gap list, AI-optimized resume text, PDF/Word export, interview questions, and more. Share your link for 1 bonus run the same day.

Open My account in the header to see past analyses for the same browser session. That helps you compare scores across different JDs you are targeting.

How to run a check in 60 seconds

Copy the entire job posting—responsibilities, requirements, and preferred skills. Paste it into Resume Buddy AI, upload your resume, and start analysis. Keep the tab open; full optimization usually takes 30–90 seconds.

Review missing keywords first. Those are the phrases ATS software and recruiters scan for. Add them naturally to your experience bullets, not only in a skills list.
