Frequently asked questions
How is the ATS match score calculated?
The score weighs two things: how many important keywords and phrases from the job description also appear in your resume (60%), and how well your resume follows ATS-friendly formatting conventions like standard section headers and parseable contact info (40%).
Is this the same score a real ATS would give me?
No. Every applicant tracking system (Workday, Greenhouse, Taleo, and others) uses its own proprietary logic. This tool gives you a directional, educational estimate based on publicly understood ATS best practices — useful for catching obvious gaps before you submit.
Does this tool store or upload my resume?
No. Everything runs as plain JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere.
What should I do with the missing keywords?
Work the ones that genuinely reflect your experience into your resume naturally — in your skills section or bullet points. Don't stuff in keywords you can't back up in an interview.
