Why I built this
Most free ATS resume checkers are built for the US job market. They flag CGPA as "unnecessary personal data," don't understand fresher/campus-project resumes, and give the same advice regardless of whether you're applying to a private company or a government/PSU role in India — where the same detail (DOB, photo, father's name) means completely opposite things depending on who's screening you.
So I built ATSMeter — a free, unlimited ATS resume checker (plus cover letter and LinkedIn About checkers) made specifically for Indian job seekers.
The interesting technical decisions
No LLM in the scoring path. Every finding is a deterministic, rule-based check — regex patterns, layout heuristics from pdfplumber (two-column detection, header/footer band detection for contact info), keyword matching. Same resume in, same score out, every time. No black box, no hallucinated feedback, and it means I can explain every single finding with the exact reason behind it.
