Frequently Asked Questions

An ATS is software used by employers to collect, sort, and rank job applications. Over 98% 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.

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.

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%.
