Question 1

What is ATS?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by companies to filter resumes before a human sees them. About 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching a recruiter.

It analyzes your resume text against role-specific keyword databases, checks formatting rules, and scores your resume on keyword match, formatting, and structure.

Question 3

Which roles are supported?

Accepted Answer

Software Engineer, Data Analyst, Product Manager, DevOps Engineer, UX Designer, Data Scientist, Frontend Developer, and Backend Developer.

Question 4

Is my resume stored?

No. All analysis happens locally in your browser. We never upload, store, or transmit your resume content.

Question 5

What score should I aim for?

Accepted Answer

Aim for 70%+ overall. Focus on including must-have keywords, using action verbs, and quantifying achievements with numbers.

Question 6

How do I improve my ATS score?

Accepted Answer

Include role-specific keywords naturally, use standard section headers, start bullets with action verbs, add metrics/numbers, and avoid graphics or tables.

Question 7

What format should my resume be in?

Use PDF or DOCX. Avoid images, tables, columns, and fancy formatting — ATS systems cannot parse them.

Question 8

Does this replace a professional resume review?
