Common ATS Questions

FAQ
What is an ATS and why does it matter? ▾
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by most employers to filter resumes before a human recruiter reviews them. It scans for relevant keywords and scores resumes based on match to the job description. Resumes that score too low are automatically rejected — which is why optimizing for ATS is critical.
How do I know if my resume is ATS-friendly? ▾
Use a free ATS checker like the one on this page. Paste your resume and a job description to instantly see your match score and which keywords you are missing. A score of 75 or above is generally considered ATS-safe.
Do I need a different resume for every job? ▾
Yes — tailoring your resume to each job description significantly improves your ATS score and your chances of getting an interview. The good news is that AI tools like Resumatch make this fast, identifying missing keywords and rewriting your resume for each application in seconds.
