Free ATS resume checker + AI resume builder

May 17, 2026 I launched a free ATS resume checker — here's what I learned building it

The problem I was solving:
Most people don't know their resume is failing automated screening before any human sees it. ATS systems score resumes on keyword density, title matching, and format parsability — none of which are obvious when you're just writing a resume.

What I built:
A free tool at resumecrafterai.com/ats-checker — paste your resume + job description, get a score and specific fixes. No account, no email, just results.

The interesting technical bit:
Pure keyword matching gives too many false negatives ("Python developer" vs "Python dev"). We run a semantic pass on top to handle synonyms and variations. The tricky part was calibrating confidence thresholds so we don't over-match and inflate scores.

Where I am:
Day 8 post-launch. 17 blog articles indexed. First GSC impressions showing up. 0 signups yet — still in the "getting discovered" phase.

Happy to talk ATS algorithms, Next.js App Router architecture, or growth strategies for tools-first SaaS.

About

Most people applying for jobs have no idea their resume is being filtered by software before any human reads it. They spend hours tailoring cover letters. They follow up. They wonder what they're doing wrong.
