What the resume scanner checks
CV Prime scans four dimensions simultaneously — the same way real ATS software processes your application.
Keyword scan
Identifies every keyword in the job description and checks whether it appears in your resume — by section.
Missing: "Python", "ETL", "data pipeline" (from Skills)
Partial match: "SQL" present, "PostgreSQL" missing
18 of 34 JD keywords matched — score: 53/100
Formatting scan
Detects tables, columns, text boxes, graphics, and other layout elements that ATS parsers cannot read correctly.
⚠ Two-column layout detected — ATS may scramble column order
⚠ Text box in header — contact info may not be parsed
✓ No graphic elements found
Structure scan
Checks that all required resume sections are present with ATS-standard headings that parsers can identify.
✓ Work Experience section found
⚠ Skills section missing — add one with 10–15 keywords
✓ Education section found
⚠ Professional Summary missing — high ATS impact
Bullet quality scan
Analyses every bullet point for action verb strength, quantified outcomes, and keyword relevance.
"Responsible for backend development" — no action verb, no metric
"Worked on improving performance" — weak, no specific outcome
Only 2 of 12 bullets contain a quantified metric

FAQ — resume scanning
What is a resume scanner?
A resume scanner reads your resume and identifies problems that prevent you from getting interviews — ATS parsing failures (formatting issues), keyword gaps (missing terms from the JD), structural problems (missing sections), and content weaknesses (vague bullets, no metrics). CV Prime's scanner provides a 0–100 ATS score, a keyword gap report, formatting warnings, and bullet quality analysis.
How does an ATS resume scanner work?
An ATS resume scanner simulates how Applicant Tracking Systems process resumes — parsing text, identifying sections, extracting keywords, and checking formatting. CV Prime's scanner is calibrated for the ATS systems used by major Indian employers: Taleo (TCS, Wipro), iCIMS (BFSI), Greenhouse (tech startups), Workday (IT services), and Naukri ATS.
Is a free resume scanner accurate?
CV Prime's free scanner is calibrated against ATS systems used by Indian employers. The 0–100 score is based on keyword match percentage, formatting compliance, section completeness, and bullet quality — factors that directly correlate with ATS pass rates and interview callback rates.
What should I do after scanning my resume?
After scanning: (1) Review your ATS score — under 50 means significant keyword gaps; 50–70 means good but improvable; above 70 is competitive. (2) Fix the highest-impact issues first: missing keywords in the Skills section, formatting problems, missing Professional Summary. (3) Use CV Prime's AI to rewrite weak bullets and fill keyword gaps automatically. (4) Rescan after fixing to confirm your score improved before applying.
How is a resume scanner different from a resume checker?
Scanner and checker are often used interchangeably. In practice: a scanner focuses on ATS parsing and keyword matching (can the ATS read and score this resume?), while a checker focuses on content quality (are the bullets strong, is the summary tailored?). CV Prime does both simultaneously in one report.
