How We Calculate Your ATS Score

Measures exact matches of hard skills, tools, and methodologies from the job description.

Analyzes synonyms, acronyms, and stemming to reward related concepts.

Checks for keyword stuffing. Rewards natural distribution of terms.

Scans for numerical metrics (percentages, dollars) and strong action verbs (STAR method).

Evaluates total word count and penalizes empty buzzwords or corporate jargon.

Checks optimal length (12-35 words) and quantity (3-6 bullets per role).

Ensures standard headers (Experience, Education, Skills) are present and readable.

Verifies sections follow standard industry order (e.g., Summary before Experience).

Ensures email, phone, LinkedIn, and degree references are properly extracted.

Checks that date formats (e.g., MM/YYYY or Mon YYYY) are consistent throughout.
