Our ATS Analysis Methodology
We've reverse-engineered how 50+ Applicant Tracking Systems parse and score resumes. Here's exactly how our analysis works.
How Our Analysis Works
1. Document Parsing
We extract text while preserving structure, handling PDFs and DOCX files with the same parsing logic used by major ATS platforms.
2. AI Analysis
Our AI simulates how each ATS reads your resume, identifying sections, keywords, and formatting that may cause parsing failures.
3. Keyword Matching
We compare your resume against industry-specific keyword databases and job description requirements to identify gaps.
4. Scoring Algorithm
Your ATS score is calculated based on 50+ factors including keyword density, formatting, section completeness, and red flags.
