Most applications never make it past the initial screen. Enter your text into our resume checker to see if your CV passes Applicant Tracking Systems.
Based on how standard screening algorithms parse text, your resume lacks the specific keyword alignment required to pass the initial automated filters for this role.
The job description uses specific phrases your resume doesn't. JobGetter rewrites your resume to match each posting's exact wording, then submits it on Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever for you. See how many applications you'd actually need to send before signing up.
Copy the full posting from LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, or wherever you found the role. Include responsibilities, requirements, and the "nice-to-haves" - the more text the parser sees, the more accurate the match score.
Drop your PDF, DOCX, or TXT file directly - we extract the text the same way an ATS parser would. Prefer to paste? Plain text from any source works too.
You get a 0-100% match score plus specific feedback - missing keywords, formatting issues, section problems. Results appear in seconds. No login. No upsell wall.
Most ATS systems reject the resume before a human sees it. Your keyword overlap with this specific job description is too thin - usually because your resume was written for a different kind of role, or you're using synonyms the parser doesn't recognize. Rewrite the experience section to mirror this JD's exact wording.
Sometimes you pass, sometimes you don't - depends on how many other applicants scored higher. Worth tailoring: add 3-5 missing keywords from the JD, fix one or two formatting issues (no tables, no two-column layouts), and you'll likely cross into the safe zone.
You pass the automated filter and reach a recruiter. From here, the resume's job is to convince a human, not a parser - a different problem (clarity, story, achievements). The ATS hurdle is behind you.
Scores are illustrative based on standard ATS parsing logic. Real systems differ slightly - what matters is the relative gap between your resume and the job description, not the absolute number.
The majority of applications never make it past the filtering software. Highly-qualified candidates fail to pass simply because of bad keyword mapping.
Once the resume passes the initial scan, recruiters have less than a minute to look at it. A clean structure guarantees that your best qualities will be noticed immediately.
Resumes that match the job description's exact wording pass the ATS filter and reach a human recruiter. Keyword alignment is the single highest-leverage step before you hit "Apply."
Most resume optimizers tell you what to fix and leave you to do the work. JobGetter rewrites it for you - and then submits the application on your behalf.
We don't stuff keywords - we weave the exact skills, tools, and phrases from the job description into the parts of your experience where they actually fit.
Tables, unusual fonts, two-column layouts - the things Canva templates love - break ATS parsing. We strip the file to a single-column, machine-readable format that recruiters still see as a clean resume.
Passive bullets like "responsible for managing X" get rewritten as "led X, shipped Y, hit Z." Recruiters skim - they need to see what you actually did in two seconds.
Applicant Tracking Systems are not smart artificial intelligence entities. They are mostly primitive parsing tools meant to strip your resume of its formatting, extract the text, and compare it to the recruiter's keyword list. Failure to follow their structural requirements may result in a complete failure to pass.
Here are the three most frequent reasons why your resume fails to pass the ATS scan, even if you are perfectly qualified for the position:
Modern and stylish templates from Canva or other online services use two-column formatting. Problem is, many ATS parsers read the document from left to right.
This means that if you put "Skills" in the left column and "Work Experience" in the right, the parser will combine both sections into a mess of gibberish. The same applies to tables, text boxes, and headers/footers. If the screening software cannot parse your document, your information will show up as blank on the recruiter's dashboard.
While a human being knows that "UI/UX designer" and "designer of user interface/user experience" mean the same, many tracking systems are not so versatile. If the job description requests "customer service" and your resume mentions "client relations," you may score zero points for that skill.
The ATS needs some keywords and phrases to identify the parts of your resume, such as work experience or education. If you rename your experience section "Professional Career" or "Career Achievements," the software might not even read those sections. Stick to the default headings: work experience, education, skills, summary.
