The ATS Reality Check

Find out what the parser loses, and which lines of the posting your resume never answers.

Every other tool in this category hands you a number. Seventy eight out of a hundred. That number does not exist. Applicant tracking systems do not grade a resume and they do not reject one for scoring low.

Two things actually cost you the interview. A document the parser could not read, so half your career never made it into the database. And language that does not match what the recruiter typed into the search box. This tool checks both and returns one call.

It is the third station. The Job Scout Builder finds the roles. The Apply Decision Worksheet decides which ones earn an application. This one gets the document ready before you send it. After that, The Interview Evidence Kit prepares the conversation.

What an applicant tracking system actually does
How this works
  1. Paste the posting, then pull the requirement lines.
  2. Paste your resume as plain text. Export it to plain text first, because that export shows you exactly what the parser sees.
  3. Work the coverage list, answer the seven document questions, then read the call on the right.
What this tool does, and what it does not
PART 1

The posting

Paste the full text of the job posting. The tool pulls the lines that read like requirements and ignores the boilerplate.

PART 2

Your resume, as text

Open your resume, save or export it as plain text, then paste it here. If something is missing from that export, the parser lost it too. That is the test.

or paste it below

PART 3

Coverage, line by line

Every line from the posting, marked Required or Preferred, with the coverage the tool computed from your text. Override any call you disagree with.

Auto leaves the call to the tool. Covered, Partial, and Absent are yours.

No lines yet. Paste a posting above and pull the requirement lines.

PART 4

The document itself

These are the layout choices that break parsers. Answer them about the file you are about to send, not about the text you pasted.
