What is an ATS and why it matters
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that scans, parses and ranks resumes before recruiters read them. If your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, it can be rejected automatically — no matter how qualified you are.
What an ATS checker looks at
- Keywords — does your resume match the job description’s skills and terms?
- Formatting — tables, columns, images and unusual fonts can break parsing.
- Section headings — standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills) parse correctly.
- Bullet strength — measurable, action-led bullets score higher.
- Contact info & file type — a clean PDF with parseable text.
