ATS Simulator — Free, No Signup
Simulate how your resume parses through named ATS platforms — keyword analysis, evidence-backed terms, named-entity extraction (name, companies, locations) and heuristic parsing checks. 100% on-device, nothing leaves your browser. No signup required.
How it works
- Upload your resume and the job post: Paste or upload your resume plus the job description you’re applying to.
- Pick an ATS to simulate: Choose from several named applicant-tracking-system parsing behaviors to see how each one would read your resume.
- Fix what the ATS would miss: See exactly which sections, keywords or formatting choices would trip up that specific ATS, and adjust before you apply.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Jobscan?
It simulates how different named ATS platforms parse a resume’s structure and keywords, entirely on-device — no account, no scan limit, nothing uploaded. Jobscan and similar paid tools maintain live integrations with real ATS vendors, so their parsing simulation can be more precise for a specific platform.
Is my resume or the job description uploaded anywhere?
No. Both stay in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Which ATS platforms does it simulate?
The simulator models common parsing behaviors seen across widely used applicant-tracking systems, focusing on structure (headings, tables, columns) and keyword matching rather than a live connection to any one vendor.
What’s the difference between this and Resume Score?
Resume Score gives a general quality score for a resume. ATS Simulator goes further and checks it specifically against a job description and a chosen ATS’s parsing quirks.
