Understanding ATS

What is an Applicant Tracking System?

ATS software automatically scans, parses, and ranks resumes before recruiters ever see them. If your resume isn't optimized, it gets filtered out, no matter how qualified you are.

Keyword Matching

ATS scans for specific keywords from the job description. Missing keywords can significantly hurt your ranking, even if you have the skills.

Format Parsing

Complex layouts, tables, graphics, and headers confuse ATS parsers. Your content becomes scrambled and unreadable.

Score Ranking

ATS assigns a compatibility score based on keyword density, experience match, and job title alignment. Low scores never get reviewed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ATS-friendly resume?

An ATS-friendly resume uses simple formatting, standard section headers, relevant keywords from the job description, and avoids graphics, tables, or complex layouts that confuse parsing software.

Why does my resume get rejected?

Most rejections happen because of missing keywords, incompatible file formats, complex formatting, or misalignment between your experience and the job requirements. Our tool identifies all these issues.

How accurate is the ATS score?

Our AI analyzes your resume using common ATS parsing and keyword alignment patterns seen across major systems. While no tool can guarantee 100% accuracy, our analysis covers all major ranking factors that ATS platforms evaluate.

Should I use PDF or DOCX?

Most modern ATS can parse both formats well. DOCX tends to be more reliably parsed, but a simple, well-formatted PDF works for most systems. Our tool checks your specific file for parsing issues.
