ATS & Resume Tools

Is your contact section actually ATS-readable?

ATS parsers extract your email, phone, and LinkedIn before a human ever sees your resume. One malformed field can silently break your application. This tool shows exactly what the parser sees.

The Problem

Contact section failures are silent

You never get a rejection notice that says your phone number was malformed. The ATS extracts what it can, stores partial data, and moves on.

✕ Typical contact section issues

―Email emoji (📧) breaks field boundary

―Bare LinkedIn URL not stored as link

―All-caps NAME parsed as section header

―Phone digit count is incorrect

―No location for geography-filtered role

―Duplicate email stored as conflict

Features

What the validator checks

Email Format Detection

Checks for malformed addresses, unprofessional handles, and ATS-breaking symbols adjacent to email fields.

Phone Number Parsing

Validates digit count and format. Flags emoji icons, unusual separators, and extensions that break ATS extraction.

LinkedIn URL Check

Detects missing protocol prefix, incorrect URL structure, and bare links that ATS systems may not hyperlink.

Portfolio / GitHub Presence

Confirms that a portfolio or GitHub URL is present and properly formatted with the https:// protocol.

Location Field Detection

Identifies City, ST format and flags missing location data for roles where geography-based filtering applies.

ATS Symbol Detection

Catches emoji icons and Unicode symbols that corrupt field extraction in Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and iCIMS.

Duplicate Field Detection

Flags repeated email or phone entries that cause ATS systems to store conflicting data in candidate records.

All-Caps Name Warning

Detects names typed in all capitals, which some parsers misread as section headers or flag as formatting errors.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero fluff.

Paste your contact section

Copy the top section of your resume — name, email, phone, LinkedIn, location — and paste it into the tool.

Parser runs locally

Rule-based ATS validation logic runs entirely in your browser. No upload. No server. No tracking.

Validation Logic

How the rules work

Every check is deterministic. No AI, no probability scores, no guessing. Each rule reflects documented ATS parser behavior.

Must match RFC 5321 format. Handle checked against known unprofessional patterns. Emoji adjacency triggers critical flag.

Phone

Digit count must be 10-15. Emoji icons (📱) adjacent to phone break extraction in most ATS field parsers.

Must contain linkedin.com/in/ path. Bare URLs without https:// are flagged as potentially non-hyperlinked in ATS records.

Name

Must appear on the first line. All-caps patterns are flagged because some parsers treat them as section headers.

Location

City, State (or City, Country) format is expected. Missing location fails geography-based ATS filter queries.

Symbols

Unicode emoji in the contact section break field boundary detection in Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse parsers.

FAQ

Common questions

Why does my contact section matter to ATS?

ATS systems extract contact fields independently from the rest of your resume. A malformed email or missing phone number can cause your application to fail routing before any human sees it.

Does this tool upload my resume to a server?

No. All validation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your contact information never leaves your device.

What ATS systems does this simulate?

The validation logic reflects common parsing behavior across Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo, and BambooHR. It does not simulate any single system exclusively.

Should I include a full address or just City, State?

For most roles, City, State is sufficient and preferred. A full street address adds no ATS value and creates unnecessary privacy exposure.

Why does LinkedIn URL format matter?

Some ATS systems only parse and hyperlink URLs that begin with https://. A bare linkedin.com/in/... entry may not be stored as a clickable profile link in the candidate record.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account, no credit card, no upload. Paste your contact section and validate instantly.
