Free ATS Resume Checker
Most resumes never reach a human. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) rank and filter candidates by how closely a resume matches the job posting, so a strong candidate with the wrong wording gets buried. RoleLight checks your resume against a specific posting and shows you exactly where you match and where you fall short, free and in about a minute.
How the checker works
Paste the job posting and your resume. RoleLight reads the posting the way a hiring manager does, scores your fit, and lists the top gaps between what the role asks for and what your resume says. No account, no subscription, and your resume is deleted after 30 days.
What you get for free
Your match score, your top gaps, and a sample rewrite of one section, so you can see the difference before paying anything.
What an ATS actually does
ATS software rarely auto-rejects on its own. The real filter is recruiters searching and sorting within the ATS by keyword and criteria. If the posting says 'stakeholder management' and your resume says 'worked with leadership,' you won't surface in their search. Matching the posting's language, where it's true for you, is the highest-leverage edit you can make.
From score to finished application
If your score shows room to improve, the full kit rewrites every bullet to match the posting, writes a cover letter to the role, and gives you 15 likely interview questions with guidance, for $12, or $49 for a 90-day pass. The score is always free.
