Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ResumeAI, ATS scoring, and building a better resume.
ATS & Resume Scoring
What is an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)?▼
An ATS is software used by employers to collect, sort, and rank job applications. Over 97% of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS. It scans your resume for keywords, formatting, and relevance to the job description before a human ever sees it.
How does the ATS score checker work?▼
Our ATS checker analyzes your resume against a job description using AI. It checks keyword matches, formatting compatibility, section completeness, and content quality, then gives you a score from 0-100 with specific suggestions for improvement.
What ATS score do I need to get an interview?▼
Aim for 80% or higher. Scores above 75% generally mean your resume has the right keywords and formatting to pass initial ATS screening. However, thresholds vary by company — some set cutoffs at 60%, others at 85%.
Is the ATS checker free?▼
Yes! You can check your ATS score up to 3 times per month on the free plan. Pro and Premium users get unlimited ATS checks.
Can ATS reject my resume because of formatting?▼
Yes. Tables, text boxes, images, headers/footers, and multi-column layouts can confuse ATS parsers. Our templates are designed to be 100% ATS-compatible with clean, single-column layouts.
Does the ATS checker work for any job?▼
Yes. Paste any job description alongside your resume and get a match score. It works for every industry and role — tech, healthcare, finance, marketing, and more.
AI Resume Builder
How does the AI resume writer work?▼
Enter your job title, company, and a brief description of what you did. Our AI generates professional, achievement-oriented bullet points with metrics and action verbs. You can also improve existing bullets by having the AI rewrite them.
Which AI model do you use?▼
We use Claude by Anthropic — one of the most advanced AI models available. Free users get Claude Haiku (fast and accurate), while Premium users get Claude Sonnet (higher quality writing).
Will my resume sound generic or AI-written?▼
No. The AI generates content based on your specific experience, role, and industry. Each bullet point is tailored to your input. We recommend reviewing and personalizing the suggestions to match your voice.
How many AI generations do I get?▼
Free plan: 3 AI generations total. Pro plan: 50 per month. Premium plan: unlimited AI generations.
Can I upload my existing resume?▼
Yes. Upload a PDF or paste your resume text, and our AI will parse it into editable sections. You can then improve it with AI suggestions and ATS optimization.
Templates & Export
Are the resume templates ATS-friendly?▼
Yes. All 9 templates are designed to be fully parseable by ATS software. They use clean layouts, standard fonts, and proper section headings that ATS systems can read reliably.
Can I export my resume as PDF?▼
Yes. All plans include PDF export. Pro and Premium users can also export as DOCX (Word format). PDFs are generated client-side for instant downloads.
Is there a watermark on free resumes?▼
Free plan resumes include a small 'Built with ResumeAI' watermark. Upgrading to Pro or Premium removes the watermark.
Can I use different templates for different jobs?▼
Yes. Pro and Premium users have access to all 9 templates and can switch between them at any time. Your resume content stays the same — only the design changes.
