Yes. The check is free with no account or card required. Paste the Ashby job description, upload your resume, and you get your keyword match and the gaps in under a minute.

No. Ashby is clear that its AI never ranks applicants or assigns numerical ratings, and a human must always make the decision. Its AI assisted review evaluates applicants against criteria the recruiter defines, then lets the recruiter filter by fit level to surface strong matches or set aside clear no matches. The AI also cites the evidence in your profile for its read, so a person can check it.

The recruiter sets objective criteria for the role, and Ashby evaluates each applicant against them to help a busy team move through a large pipeline. It groups people by fit rather than scoring them on a leaderboard. Personal details are redacted from resumes before they are sent to the AI models. The takeaway for you is simple: the closer your resume maps to the explicit requirements in the posting, the better you read against those criteria.

Ashby is popular with fast growing technology companies and is especially common in the startup and AI world. Customers include Linear, Notion, and Ramp, and Ashby has said a large majority of the startups on the Forbes AI 50 list hire through it.

No. ATSAlign is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Ashby. Ashby is a trademark of its owner. The checker compares your resume to a job description so you can match the role criteria an Ashby review evaluates against and close the gaps.

Yes, the check is free. Your first check needs no account: guests get 1 free check a day, and a free account gets 2. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites of your bullet points come with ATSAlign Pro, a one-time pass that never renews.

There is no official cutoff, because every employer sets up its ATS differently. On ATSAlign's own scale, 80% or higher means your resume covers most of the posting's key terms, and below 60% means many must-have terms are missing. Aim to add the missing terms that truly fit your experience, in the posting's own words.

ATSAlign works from the job description you paste, so you can use it for any job, whatever system the employer uses. It does not connect to any employer's ATS, and no outside checker can see how an employer has set up its system, so the score is ATSAlign's own estimate of how well your resume matches the job. ATSAlign is independent and is not affiliated with any ATS vendor.

Use the file type the employer's application form asks for. Each system documents different things: Workday HiredScore supports DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT resumes, Greenhouse Recruiting can't parse resumes larger than 2.5 MB, and for federal jobs USAJOBS recommends uploading a PDF to keep your formatting and page count. Workday also says resumes without images or image-based styles give the best parsing results. ATSAlign checks both PDF and DOCX, so you can test the exact file you plan to send.

Check every time you apply to a new role. A resume that matches one job description well can match another poorly, because each posting asks for different skills and terms. Recruiters often search and filter applications in their ATS, so using each posting's own words, where they truly fit your experience, helps your resume turn up in those searches.

Not for your first check. Guests get 1 free check a day with no account, and a free account gets 2 a day. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites come with ATSAlign Pro.
