What is an ATS (Applicant Tracking System)?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to collect, scan, and rank job applications. Companies like Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, and Lever power most corporate hiring processes.
These systems parse your resume, extract information like your name, contact details, work experience, education, and skills, then rank candidates based on keyword matches, formatting compatibility, and relevance to the job description.
Why Does This Matter?
If your resume uses complex formatting, missing keywords, or non-standard fonts, the ATS literally cannot read it—and you're automatically rejected before a human ever sees your qualifications. Studies show that 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching a recruiter.

Our ATS scanner analyzes your resume against the same algorithms used by popular applicant tracking systems. You'll get an instant ATS compatibility score, detailed breakdown of formatting issues, missing keyword analysis, and specific recommendations to improve your score—all completely free, with no signup required.
