Question 1

Is the ATS resume checker free?

Accepted Answer

QuiteWin offers a free download with a 30-minute trial and no credit card required. In offline mode via Ollama there is no per-use API cost, so running the analyzer repeatedly across many applications does not add a bill.

Question 2

Does my resume get uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

Not in offline mode. With Ollama running locally, the analysis happens entirely on your own machine — your resume, the job description and the results never leave the device. This is the main difference between QuiteWin and web-based resume scanners, which require uploading your document to their servers.

Question 3

How is the ATS score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your resume is matched against one specific job description rather than a generic template — the same way a real applicant tracking system scores you against a single requisition. That means the score changes per role, which is the point: a resume that matches one posting well can match another badly.

Question 4

What is a keyword gap?

Accepted Answer

A term the job description uses that your resume never does. These are usually vocabulary mismatches rather than missing experience — a requisition says 'CI/CD' while your resume says 'build pipelines', or asks for 'Kubernetes' where you wrote 'container orchestration'. A human reads those as equivalent; a parser does not.

Question 5

Should I just add every missing keyword to my resume?

Accepted Answer

No. Add keywords for skills you genuinely have, using the wording the role uses — that is closing a real gap. Adding keywords for skills you do not have gets you into interviews you cannot pass, which wastes your own time most of all.

Question 6

Does it work on Windows, macOS and Linux?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QuiteWin runs on Windows 10/11, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Linux, with the same feature set on each.
