Jobscan helps you optimize your resume for any job, highlighting the key experience and skills recruiters need to see.
Many job seekers don’t get enough interviews even after applying for dozens of jobs. Why? Companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to search and filter resumes by keywords. The Jobscan resume scanner helps you optimize your resume keywords for each job listing so that your application gets found by recruiters.

1) How do I know if my resume is ATS-compliant?
Each Applicant Tracking System has different methods of scanning and filtering resumes. A resume scanner will be able to detect formatting errors that make your resume hard to understand for different Applicant Tracking Systems. Jobscan’s resume scanner will give you a match rate based on top ATS including iCIMS, Recruiterbox Lever, Greenhouse and Taleo.
2) What is a good ATS score for a resume?
We generally recommend a match rate score of 80%. However, many career counselors and Jobscan users see success even with just a 65% match rate. On the flip side, there is such a thing as an over-optimized resume. We find that an 80% is really the sweet spot between optimizing your resume without overstuffing it with keywords.
3) Do ATS scan resumes?
Each system offers a different combination and scope of features, but ATS are primarily used to help hiring companies collect, organize, and filter applicants. That means that an ATS will scan your resume and search for certain keywords, skills, job titles, and education that the recruiter is looking for. Job seekers who submit their resume and job application through an online form are interacting with an ATS.
4) What Is a Resume Checker?
A resume checker will scan your resume and compare it to a job description. The checker will show you if your resume is optimized for an ATS and for the job listing. To ensure that the resume is optimized for an ATS, the resume checker will check the formatting and file type . It will compare the text in the resume to see if it matches the skills, keywords, job titles, and education requirements mentioned in the job listing.
5) What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a human resources software that acts as a database for job applicants. ATS are used by companies of all sizes to organize, search, and communicate with large groups of applicants. Ninety-nine percent of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS as part of their recruiting strategy.
