Why you need an India-focused ATS checker
Most ATS tools online are built for the US market. They flag your 2-page resume as too long, complain about your photo, and have no idea what a B.Tech in ECE or an MBA from XLRI means. Indian recruiters and Indian ATS systems expect a different format.
GradVix is built from the ground up for India. We score your resume the way Naukri, LinkedIn and the leading IT services companies actually filter it.
ATS systems used by Indian companies
- Naukri RMS — Used by most Indian SMBs and a large chunk of mid-cap companies. Heavy on key skills and headline keywords.
- LinkedIn Recruiter — Search-based; ranks profiles by skills, titles and experience matches.
- Workday — Used by Accenture, Infosys (partial), Genpact and many MNCs in India. Strict parser.
- SAP SuccessFactors — Used by Wipro and several large enterprises.
- In-house ATS at TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL — Heavy keyword + years-of-experience filtering before recruiter review.
Each one parses resumes slightly differently. Our checker flags issues that break parsing in any of these systems.
What we score for Indian resumes
- Header parsing — your name, Indian phone format (+91), email and city
- Education — B.Tech, BE, BSc, MBA, PGDM, CA, CFA, with college and year
- Experience — companies, titles, dates in
MMM YYYYformat - Tech stack keywords — Java, Spring Boot, React, Node, Python, Selenium, SAP, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, etc.
- Domain keywords — BFSI, Telecom, Healthcare, EdTech, FinTech, E-commerce
- Certifications — AWS, Azure, GCP, Scrum, ITIL, PMP, Six Sigma
- JD match — paste the role you want, we score the gap
Common reasons Indian resumes get rejected by ATS
- Canva templates with icons and columns — Look beautiful, parse terribly.
- Missing key skills section — Naukri RMS literally indexes a Key Skills field.
- Vague bullets — "Worked on backend development" beats nothing, but loses to "Built 12 REST APIs in Spring Boot, reduced p95 latency by 38%".
- No years of experience signal — Many Indian ATS filter by minimum experience. Make sure dates are clean.
- Wrong file format — Always PDF or DOCX. Never JPG, never linked PDF behind a Google Drive share.
