ATS BY THE NUMBERS
90%
of large employers use automated systems to filter or rank applications (World Economic Forum, 2025)
75%
of resumes are filtered by ATS before a human reads them (industry consensus)
10.6x
increase in interview likelihood when your resume includes the exact job title from the posting (Jobscan, 2024)
Around 90% of large employers use applicant tracking systems to parse, score, and rank resumes before any human reads them. The bot reads top-to-bottom, maps your text into structured fields, and scores against the job description. The way to "beat" the bot is to be one of the resumes the recruiter's filter surfaces, which means matching the JD's keywords precisely and being parseable as structured data. The widget above runs that scoring on your resume against the JD you paste, in 30 seconds.
Single-column layout
Two-column resumes fail Workday parsing on ~41% of submissions. Left-column sidebars get read after the right column, scrambling chronology.
No tables or graphics
Tables scramble content order during parsing. Skills inside a table cell often never reach the indexed record.
Contact info in body, not headers
Many parsers skip headers and footers entirely. Contact info placed there becomes invisible.
Standard fonts only
Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman. Decorative fonts trip the parser.
Standard section headers
Work Experience, Education, Skills. Custom labels like "Career Journey" fail field mapping.
MM/YYYY or Month YYYY dates
Mixed date formats reduce timeline confidence. Pick one and use it consistently.
DOCX or text-selectable PDF
Image-based PDFs (Canva exports) cannot be read by any ATS. Rebuild in Google Docs, Word, or a parseable template.
File size under 2MB
Most ATS parsers reject files over 2MB or process them slowly enough that timing causes drops.
1. Upload your resume
DOCX or text-selectable PDF only. Image-based PDFs cannot be read by any ATS. 10MB max.
2. Paste the job description
Full JD text or the URL of the posting. The score is tailored to that exact JD.
3. Apply the rewrites
Critical and Notable edits are grouped by severity. Each shows the original, the rewrite, and which keyword or formatting rule it fixes.
4. Download the new PDF
The preview rebuilds your resume live as you accept edits. Single-column, Workday-safe, ready to submit.

Software that 90% of large employers use to parse, score, and rank resumes before a recruiter sees them. The two most common are Workday (banks, large enterprises) and Greenhouse (growth-stage tech).
Top-to-bottom in document order. The parser extracts text into named fields: contact, employer, title, dates, education, skills. Layout failures (two-column, tables, headers) scramble or drop fields.
75+ for first-cut survival at most large firms. 80+ for competitive roles.
Paste the JD into the widget above. It extracts the keywords and tells you which ones are missing from your resume. The exact job title is the highest-leverage single keyword.
Rarely. It acts as a search engine for recruiters who filter the database. The way to "beat" Workday is to match the filter, not avoid rejection.
Goldman, JPM, MS, BofA = Workday. McKinsey/Bain/BCG = internal systems often built on Workday. Google/Meta/Amazon = internal. Startups under ~500 people = Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby.
No catch. Upload, paste, get the score and rewrites without an account.
Every time, for every firm. The keyword match is JD-specific.
