ATS check

Check how clearly your resume matches a specific role

Luceria's free ATS resume checker compares the resume and job description supplied by the user. It reviews hard requirements, evidence, relevant terminology, readable structure and common parsing risks, then prioritises improvements.

Access: Free with a Luceria account. The deterministic job-specific check is free with an account. Recency and seniority need the AI-assessed check on a paid plan, which draws on the monthly Coach allowance.

ATS check at a glance

Who it helps
Applicants who want to see, before submitting, how clearly a resume covers one job's requirements and whether it is likely to be read cleanly by an applicant tracking system.
What it uses
Your resume (uploaded, pasted or from Resume Studio) and the job description for the role you are targeting.
What you get
Results for hard requirements, evidence quality, keyword match, parseability and formatting, each with reasons and prioritised fixes.
Access
The deterministic job-specific check is free with an account. Recency and seniority need the AI-assessed check on a paid plan, which draws on the monthly Coach allowance.
Your data
The free check is deterministic and uses no generative AI. The AI-assessed version on paid plans sends the resume and job text to Luceria's AI providers (listed on the sub-processors page).

What this feature does not claim

The result is a compatibility estimate, not an employer score. Luceria cannot see a company's private applicant tracking system, ranking rules or hiring decision.

What does an ATS check actually measure?

Applicant tracking systems help employers collect and organise applications. Their configuration varies. Luceria therefore does not claim to reproduce a private employer system; it checks the practical things an applicant can control.

Those checks include whether important role requirements are supported by evidence, whether relevant terms appear naturally, whether sections are recognisable and whether formatting is likely to survive text extraction. The score summarises the review, while the reasons show what to change.

Why is keyword matching only part of the answer?

A resume containing every noun from a vacancy can still be weak. Recruiters need evidence: what the person did, the conditions they handled and the result or responsibility involved. Luceria separates useful role language from words that would be dishonest or meaningless to add.

Common words, employer branding and accidental fragments should not become a keyword checklist. Strong terms are connected to real experience in a profile, skills section or bullet where they make sense.

How is this different from the free CV / resume check?

The homepage CV / resume check needs no account and reviews the document alone. It runs in your browser without AI, the file is not uploaded, and it looks at structure: section headings, contact details, dates, evidence, parseability and formatting. Because there is no job to compare against, it deliberately shows no overall or job-match score.

The ATS check on this page compares a resume with one specific job description. That adds the role-dependent questions, such as which hard requirements the resume evidences and which role language is missing. It needs a free account so the resume and job can be kept together and rechecked after edits.

How should an ATS score be used?

Use the score to locate avoidable gaps, not to decide a person's worth. A career changer may begin with unfamiliar vocabulary but possess strong transferable evidence. Conversely, a resume can repeat the right words while missing a mandatory qualification.

The most useful action is to read the explanation beside each component, make truthful edits and recheck the document. The aim is a clearer application, not a perfect number.

Questions about ATS check

Is Luceria's ATS resume checker free?

Yes. The deterministic job-specific ATS compatibility check is free with a Luceria account. Recency and seniority need the AI-assessed check on a paid plan, and other paid AI features have their own allowances.

Can I check a resume without an account?

Yes, for structure. The free CV / resume check on Luceria's homepage reviews the document alone in your browser, with no AI and no upload. Comparing a resume with a specific job needs a free account.

Can Luceria see the employer's ATS?

No. It checks common compatibility factors using the resume and job description supplied; private employer rules are not visible.

Is a higher score a job guarantee?

No. It indicates a clearer match on the measured factors, not an interview or hiring outcome.

Should every missing keyword be added?

No. Add a term only when the user's real experience supports it and it improves clarity.

Can a career changer still score well?

Yes, when transferable evidence is expressed clearly. Genuine hard requirements should still be treated as constraints.
