Get Your Score & Fix List
Receive your ATS score and a ranked list of remote-specific keyword additions and rewrites — so your resume passes the automated filter at global remote job portals and company-specific ATS systems.
What You Get
Remote-Work Keyword Detector
Identifies whether your resume includes remote-first vocabulary — asynchronous communication, distributed teams, remote collaboration, virtual team management — that remote-first employers specifically filter for.
Time Zone Management Terminology
Checks for explicit mentions of cross-timezone experience, overlap hours management, and global team coordination — critical keywords for US, UK, and European remote roles filled by international applicants.
Remote Productivity Tool Mentions
Validates that remote collaboration tools — Slack, Notion, Jira, Confluence, Zoom, Loom, Asana — are mentioned correctly and in context, since ATS systems for remote roles specifically scan for these.
Self-Management Language Checker
Evaluates whether your resume demonstrates autonomous working style — self-directed, outcome-focused, proactive communication — the language that remote hiring managers and ATS systems score most highly.
Global Collaboration Experience Highlighting
Checks for keywords that signal experience working with international colleagues or clients — multilingual stakeholders, global cross-functional teams, US/EU client work — that differentiate remote applicants.
Job Portal ATS Pattern Matching
Benchmarks your resume against ATS keyword patterns used by LinkedIn, We Work Remotely, Remote.co, and Workday — since each platform scores remote-role resumes with slightly different weighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ATS and how does it filter remote job applications differently?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) filters resumes using keyword scoring. Remote job postings typically include remote-specific keywords — asynchronous, distributed team, remote-first, virtual collaboration — and their ATS systems score resumes against these terms in addition to role-specific keywords. Applicants who do not include remote-work vocabulary consistently score lower even when they have the right technical or functional skills.
Is the ATS checker free for remote job applicants?
Yes — MyTechZ ATS Score Check is 100% free. No subscription, no credit card, and no signup required for your first check. Remote job seekers applying across multiple portals and geographies can run as many checks as they need without any cost.
What remote work keywords should I add to my resume?
The most impactful remote keywords fall into three groups: communication style (asynchronous communication, async-first, written communication, proactive updates), tools (Slack, Notion, Jira, Confluence, Loom, Zoom, GitHub), and work style (self-directed, outcome-oriented, distributed team, cross-timezone collaboration). MyTechZ identifies which of these are missing from your specific resume and shows you where to add them.
Does listing remote tools like Slack automatically improve my ATS score?
Listing remote tools helps, but context matters as much as presence. ATS systems score higher when tools appear in context of actual use — 'Coordinated async project updates across 3 time zones using Slack and Notion' scores better than a bare skills list. MyTechZ checks both whether tools are present and whether they are used with sufficient contextual language to register as meaningful experience.
Do different remote job portals have different ATS requirements?
Yes — different platforms use different ATS engines and scoring logic. LinkedIn scores keyword density and relevance to job descriptions; Workday scores structural completeness and certification mentions; We Work Remotely and Remote.co have lighter ATS but recruiters search by keyword. MyTechZ benchmarks against the most common portal ATS patterns so your resume performs well across platforms.
What ATS score should I target for remote job applications?
A score of 70 or above is the target for competitive remote roles. For senior remote roles at established remote-first companies, 75+ is recommended because these companies receive global applications and ATS filtering is strict. MyTechZ shows your score across all four dimensions so you can see whether remote keyword gaps or format issues are the primary bottleneck for your specific resume.
