Scan Your Resume For ATS Keyword Match
Compare your resume directly against target job postings to identify keyword gaps before recruiters filter you out.
How Does An ATS Scanner Work?
Applicant Tracking Systems (like Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, Greenhouse, and Lever) operate by stripping your resume into raw semantic text blocks. The software indexes your work experience, education, certifications, and skills into a relational database. When a recruiter posts a requisition, the ATS compares candidates based on semantic keyword density, years of experience, and exact keyword frequency.
4 Things That Break ATS Scanners
- Complex 2-column multi-box tables and canvas shapes.
- Graphics, photo headshots, and infographic skill rating bars.
- Non-standard section titles (e.g. "My Journey" instead of "Experience").
- Text hidden inside header/footer margin areas.
4 Ways To Get A 90+ Score
- Use exact keyword phrases matching the job posting.
- Start every bullet point with a decisive action verb.
- Include numbers, revenue scale, or percentages in each role.
- Export to clean vector-standard PDF.
