Get answers to common questions about ATS systems and resume optimization
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) reject resumes for several reasons: missing keywords from the job description, complex formatting that confuses the parser, lack of clear section headers, or using images/tables. Our validator checks all these factors and shows you exactly what needs fixing.
ATS resume parsers need clean, simple formatting. Use standard section headers like 'Work Experience' and 'Education', avoid text boxes and columns, save as .docx or PDF (not scanned), and include relevant keywords naturally. Our free validator analyzes your resume against these criteria instantly.
An ATS score above 80% is considered excellent and means your resume will likely pass automated screening. Scores between 60-79% need improvement in specific areas. Below 60% indicates major formatting or content issues that will hurt your chances. Our validator shows your exact score and how to improve it.
Compare your resume against the job description to identify missing skills, tools, and qualifications. Our free validator automatically extracts keywords from job postings and tells you which critical terms you're missing, so you can add them naturally to your resume.

Resume hallucinations are false or exaggerated claims that can be caught by automated screening. To fix them: only include verifiable achievements, use specific numbers and metrics, avoid vague buzzwords, and ensure every claim is backed by your actual experience. Our paid tool shows confidence scores for each statement.
ATS-friendly resumes use: standard section headers (Work Experience, Education, Skills), simple formatting without tables or columns, common fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman), .docx or PDF format, relevant keywords from the job description, and clear contact information at the top.
