What Does a 'Good' Score Look Like?
Most candidates think 100% is the goal. In reality, any score above 80% is considered 'Highly Qualified'. A perfect score often looks suspicious to recruiters.
Phase 1: The Keyword Gap Analysis
The first thing to fix is the 'Skill Gap'. Our AI tool identifies words present in the Job Description but missing in your text. Adding these naturally into your 'Summary' or 'Skills' section can boost your score by 15-20 points.
Phase 2: Action-Oriented Phrasing
Swap passive verbs for high-impact action verbs like 'Engineered,' 'Spearheaded,' 'Synthesized,' and 'Orchestrated.'
Reader Q&A
Why is my score different on different platforms?
Every ATS uses a slightly different algorithm. Our tool is trained on an aggregate of the top 5 most common systems (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo).
