ATS resume consultants charge $150–$500 per resume. Our free browser-based tool does the same thing — keyword extraction, ATS formatting, match scoring, and a downloadable .docx file — in under 60 seconds.
Over 75% of resumes are rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems automatically. The ATS never passes them to a recruiter. You never hear back. Here's why — and how we fix it.
PDFs from Canva, Figma, or Google Docs are often read as blank by ATS parsers. The system scores you zero.
You write "team player" — the JD says "cross-functional collaboration." ATS scores exact string matches, not meaning.
"My Journey" or "What I Bring" — ATS can't parse these. It needs exact labels: Work Experience, Skills, Education.
Visual resumes with columns, icons, and tables confuse ATS parsers. Your data gets scrambled or dropped entirely.
Vague bullets like "helped with projects" score lower than "Managed 12 client onboarding projects with 100% on-time delivery."
We generate a real Word document built from scratch — Calibri, single-column, no tables. Exactly what ATS parsers love.
We extract every keyword from the job description and map them to your resume using exact phrasing — not synonyms.
Even if your resume uses casual labels, we rename and reorder them: Summary → Work Experience → Skills → Education → Certifications.
No columns, no tables, no icons. Every element is in linear order so ATS parsers read your data perfectly every time.
We prepend strong past-tense action verbs and flag missing metrics — so your bullets land with recruiters who do see your resume.
