What is ATS?

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes before they reach human recruiters. A low ATS score means your resume might be automatically rejected, even if you're qualified.

What We Check

  • Contact Information: Email, phone number, professional links
  • Structure: Key sections (Experience, Education, Skills, Summary)
  • Formatting: Bullet points, no special characters or tables
  • Content: Action verbs, quantifiable achievements, keywords
  • Length: Optimal word count (400-700 words)
  • Readability: Clear, professional language

  2. Address "warning" level suggestions
  3. Use our Resume Summary Generator for better content
  4. Match keywords with the job description
  5. Re-test after making changes
