Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ATS and why does it reject my resume?▼

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is the software companies use to read resumes automatically and extract sections, skills and keywords. It rejects resumes built with complex tables, resumes whose data sits inside an image, and resumes with non-standard section headings.

How do I test my resume for free to see if it passes an ATS?▼

Open our free ATS scanner, paste your resume text, and within seconds you get a score out of 100 plus the detected issues (length, missing email, tables, weak action verbs, no metrics) and concrete fixes for each one.

Can a resume be beautiful and ATS-friendly at the same time?▼

Yes. Keep the essential content as real text in a single column with standard section headings, and use colour, typography and spacing for the design. Just avoid text inside images, tables and text boxes.

Which keywords should I put in my resume?▼

Copy the skills, tools and responsibilities from the job ad verbatim, then spread them naturally across your summary, experience and skills sections. Avoid heavy repetition — modern ATS platforms detect keyword stuffing.

PDF or Word for an ATS-friendly resume?▼

Both work as long as the file contains selectable text (never an image). Prefer PDF for the final design and Word when a recruiter asks for an editable file.

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is used by most large companies to screen resumes automatically. Our templates are specifically designed to pass these systems: readable text, no complex tables, no embedded images, and simple formatting.

Why resumes get rejected before a human reads them

  • Complex tables and multi-column layouts an ATS cannot parse.
  • Contact details or skills baked into an image.
  • Non-standard section headings.
  • Missing the exact keywords from the job ad.
