What is ATS and Why Does It Matter?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software that companies use to filter resumes before human recruiters see them. If your resume isn't ATS-friendly, it gets rejected automatically — no matter how qualified you are.
Why Most Resumes Fail ATS
Complex Formatting
Tables, columns, headers/footers, and text boxes confuse ATS parsers and scramble your content.
Graphics & Images
Logos, photos, icons, and decorative elements are completely invisible to ATS scanners.
Wrong File Format
Some ATS systems struggle with certain PDFs, especially those created from design software.
Non-Standard Sections
Creative section headers like "My Journey" instead of "Work Experience" confuse ATS categorization.
Missing Keywords
ATS scores resumes based on keyword matches. Missing job-specific terms means lower ranking.
Fancy Fonts
Decorative or uncommon fonts can render as gibberish in some ATS systems.
How We Create ATS-Friendly Resumes
LaTeX PDF Output
We use RenderCV, a LaTeX-based engine that produces perfectly parseable PDFs with embedded text that ATS systems read correctly.
Standard Sections
Work Experience, Education, Skills, Contact — we use the exact section headers ATS systems expect and recognize.
Clean, Linear Format
No tables, no columns, no text boxes. Single-column layouts that parse correctly every time.
Safe Typography
Professional, standard fonts that render perfectly across all systems and ATS software.
AI Keyword Optimization
Our AI rewrites your content with industry-specific keywords and action verbs that ATS systems prioritize.
Consistent Date Formatting
Proper date formats (Month Year — Month Year) that ATS systems parse to calculate experience duration.
