Edesy Resume

ATS Resume Checker with a 0-100 Resume Score

Edesy Resume scores your resume from 0 to 100 as you edit it, using specific checks for contact details, bullet quality, keywords, length and layout. Every check tells you what passed, what needs work and links straight to the section to fix. The score and all ATS checks are included on the free plan.

What the ats resume checker does

Contact details recruiters filter on

Checks that your name and email are present, that phone and location are filled in (many recruiters filter by location) and that you have added a LinkedIn profile URL.

Summary length

Aims for a professional summary of 40-90 words. It warns when the summary is under 25 words or runs over 110 words.

Experience structure and dates

Confirms work experience is present, every role has dates, and each end date comes after its start date. Education must also be present.

Achievements and measurable results

Looks for 2-5 bullet points per role. Passes when at least 40% of your bullets contain numbers, warns at 20-40% and fails below 20%.

Strong, varied action verbs

Flags weak openers such as "responsible for", "worked on", "helped", "assisted" and "duties included", and warns when one verb starts 4 or more bullets.

Scannable, professional bullets

Flags bullets over 35 words and any use of first person ("I", "my", "me"), which recruiters expect resumes to leave out.

Specific, not generic

Flags cliches like "hard-working", "team player", "detail-oriented", "self-starter", "results-driven" and "think outside the box", and checks you list 6 or more skills.

Length, layout and hidden sections

Warns when the resume is under 150 words or over 1,000 words (likely more than two pages), passes single-column templates as ATS-friendly, and warns when a section has content but is hidden.

How to use it

1

Build or import your resume

Start from a blank resume, an example resume, or import your existing PDF or Word (.docx) file.

2

Read your score and checks

The 0-100 score updates from the checks. A passed check counts its full weight, a warning counts half.

3

Jump to each fix

Every check links to the section it is about, so you can rewrite a weak bullet or add a missing date in place.

4

Recheck and download

Watch the score change as you edit, then download a PDF, Word or text file with no watermark.

Free and Pro

Resume score and all ATS checks are free on every resume. Free accounts can keep up to 3 resumes; Pro raises that to 50.
