ATS Resume Checker
Upload or paste your resume, add an optional job description, and get an instant rule-based ATS compatibility report.
Free job-search tools
Free tools before you pay for anything.
Start with fast, rule-based checks that do not require an account or a paid AI call. Use them to spot resume problems, keyword gaps, cover-letter issues, job-post risks, and file conversion needs before deciding whether to tailor your application pack.
These tools are intentionally free diagnostics and utilities. They help users find the problem first. When they want the problem fixed with generated documents, the next step is HireDraftAI's tailored CV and cover-letter workflow.
How the free tools stack works
- Diagnose resume, ATS, cover letter, keyword, job-post, outreach, tracker, or document-conversion issues.
- Prioritize the problems that can affect applications: missing keywords, weak bullets, broken parser text, generic letters, or messy files.
- Use HireDraftAI when you want the paid workflow to create a tailored CV, cover letter, ATS guidance, PDF-ready output, saved history, and tracking.
