Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)?
An ATS is software that companies use to manage job applications. It scans resumes for keywords, formatting, and structure to rank candidates before a human recruiter sees them. Popular ATS systems include Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Taleo.
What score should I aim for?
We recommend aiming for 80% or above. Scores above 90% mean your resume is highly ATS-compatible. Our checker provides specific suggestions to improve your score with each check.
Will fixing ATS issues change my resume's design?
Not significantly. Most ATS issues are structural (headers, date formats, text encoding). Our templates are pre-optimized to look great while being fully ATS-compatible.
Is the ATS checker free?
Basic ATS scoring is free for all users. The Pro plan includes detailed parsing preview, historical score tracking, and advanced fix suggestions.
How often should I check my ATS score?
Check your score every time you make significant changes to your resume or before applying to a new role. Different job descriptions may require different keyword optimizations.
