Questions

FAQ

Does ATS really reject 75% of resumes?

No credible source for that number exists. What's real and fixable: layout issues that trip up parsers.

Is my resume uploaded anywhere?

No — it's parsed in your browser. If you use the optional AI keyword-match feature, extracted text is sent for that one request and never stored. If you leave optional accuracy feedback, we store which checks passed or failed and any note you add — never your resume text.

What file types work?

PDF and Word (.docx). Image-only scans get a clear message, never a silent failure.

Do I need an account?

No signup, no paywall — it's free.
