How do I know if my resume is ATS-compliant?
Each Applicant Tracking System has different methods of scanning and filtering
resumes. A resume scanner will be able to detect formatting errors that make
your resume hard to understand for different Applicant Tracking Systems.
Jobscan’s resume scanner will give you a match rate based on top ATS including
iCIMS, Recruiterbox Lever, Greenhouse and Taleo.
What is a good ATS score for a resume?
We recommend a match rate score of 75%. However, many career counselors and
Jobscan users see success even with just a 65% match rate.

There is such a thing as an over-optimized resume. The general rule is that a
higher score is better, but it might not be possible to score above 75% without
overstuffing your resume with keywords.
Do ATS scan resumes?
Each system offers a different combination and scope of features, but ATS are
primarily used to help hiring companies collect, organize, and filter
applicants. That means that an ATS will scan your resume and search for certain
keywords, skills, job titles, and education that the recruiter is looking for.

Job seekers who submit their resume and job application through an online form
are interacting with an ATS.
Can ATS detect PDF?
Our tests have shown that some applicant tracking systems more accurately parse
.docx resumes. For this reason, we recommend uploading your resume in the .docx
(Microsoft Word) format when applying to a job, unless the job posting requests
a PDF.
What Is a Resume Checker?
A resume checker will scan your resume and compare it to a job description. The
checker will show you if your resume is optimized for an ATS and for the job
listing. To ensure that the resume is optimized for an ATS, the resume checker
will check the formatting and file type . It will compare the text in the resume
to see if it matches the skills, keywords, job titles, and education
requirements mentioned in the job listing.
How to make an ATS-friendly resume
Here are some quick tips on how to beat applicant tracking systems:
 * Tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for.
 * Match your resume keywords to skills found in the job description.
 * Use long-form and acronym versions of keywords.
 * Use Chronological or Hybrid resume format.
 * Don’t use tables, columns, or graphics.
 * Use a screen-friendly, traditional font.
 * Don’t use headers or footers.
 * Use standard resume section headings.
 * Save Your File as a .docx if possible

How does Jobscan work?
Jobscan improves job placement by helping job seekers land 3X more interviews
and cutting job search time in half. Jobscan uses artificial intelligence and
machine learning technology to give job seekers an instant analysis of how well
their resume and cover letter are tailored for a particular job and how they can
optimize their application materials to combat applicant tracking systems (ATS).

Here’s the process: Upload your resume and copy-and-paste a job listing you’re
applying for. Jobscan will analyze your resume for formatting errors, key
qualifications, hard skills, best practices, word count, tone, and more. View
your match rate to see how closely your resume matches the job you’re applying
for. Then, optimize your resume with personalized suggestions based on the job
description you entered. As you make changes, you’ll see your match rate
improve!

Use Jobscan for every job application to increase your chances of getting a job
interview.

Jobscan also features a potent lineup of other job search tools, such as the
free resume builder, Power Edit real-time resume editor, and LinkedIn
Optimization.
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a human resources software that acts as a
database for job applicants. ATS are used by companies of all sizes to organize,
search, and communicate with large groups of applicants. Ninety-nine percent of
Fortune 500 companies use an ATS as part of their recruiting strategy.
Why do you need a resume checker?
With the limitations and drawbacks of the ATS, there is a risk that you can be
filtered out if your resume is not written and formatted with the ATS in mind.
To increase your chances of getting past the ATS and getting your resume read by
a real person, you need to optimize your resume and make sure that it is
compatible with the ATS.
What exactly is being checked? Can you rate my resume?
Jobscan's resume scanner analyzes your resume against proven recruiter
preferences and hidden requirements buried in the job description. It compares
hard skills, soft skills, and industry buzzwords from the job listing to your
resume.

When your resume is scanned, you're given a match rate. Your match rate is based
on these four priorities, in order:
 * Hard skills
 * Education level (only when an advanced degree is included in the job
   description)
 * Job title
 * Soft skills
 * Other keywords

Resume word count and measurable results are not factored into the match rate.

For more specialized tips, fill out your Jobscan profile. When signed in, it is
located in the drop-down menu at the top right and allows you to provide Jobscan
with information including your industry and where you are in the job search
process. With a complete profile, Jobscan’s suggestions become more targeted to
you personally when your profile is complete.
