ToolForge’s Resume Checker forms its ATS score with a two-tier system
When you're applying for a job, there's a high chance your resume will be screened through an applicant tracking system before it finds its way on a recruiter's screen. ATS helps hiring managers find the right candidates by adding resumes to a database in a searchable format, extracting content.
A résumé's relevance, structure, and wording can affect how easy it is to review. ToolForge checks common formatting signals and compares recognized skill terms with a job description; it cannot predict or guarantee an employer's screening result.
The proportion of content we can interpret
Similar to an ATS, the tool analyzes and attempts to comprehend your resume's structure, standard headings, and dates.
Recruiter impact & keyword relevance
Evaluates measurable achievements, action verbs, and keyword density against the exact job description you are targeting.
The résumé checker reviews more than typos and punctuation
The tool reviews common résumé content and formatting signals across three categories. Results are heuristic guidance, not tests against employer ATS software or recruiters:
