ATS Transparency

1. What the ATS Readiness Score is

The ATS Readiness Score is a 0–100 estimate of how well your CV is structured and aligned with a specific job description. It is produced by deterministic analysis of your document text and the job description — not by guessing what an employer’s software will decide. A score of 70 or above is treated as “ATS-ready” by the product.

2. What the score measures

• ATS compatibility — Whether the document uses parser-safe structure and real text rather than images, glyphs or decorative tricks.
• Structure — Whether the standard sections hiring systems look for (summary, experience, education, skills, projects, certifications, languages) are present.
• Formatting — Whether tables, columns, spacing artifacts and non-standard characters that confuse parsers have been avoided.
• Keyword alignment — How well the language of your CV matches keywords drawn from the job description you supplied.
• Skills alignment — How many of the skills the job asks for are matched by skills you actually listed.
• Experience relevance — How closely your described experience connects to what the role requires.
• Recommendations — Concrete, actionable fixes — never fabricated content — ranked by impact.

3. What we do not and cannot guarantee

• ❌The score is a readiness estimate, not a prediction of any employer’s decision.
• ❌We do not guarantee that a CV will pass every ATS, or any specific ATS.
• ❌We do not guarantee an interview, a callback or employment.
• ❌Every metric is computed from the text of your CV and the job analysis — nothing is invented to inflate a number.
• ❌You can see the breakdown behind every score, so a number never appears without an explanation.

ATS software varies widely between employers, configurations and versions. A high score means your document uses the structures and language that parsers generally handle well — it is not a promise about any individual employer’s outcome.

4. How the check handles your data

• The job description is validated as untrusted input before any analysis runs.
• It is analysed once and stored, so repeat checks never re-charge you or re-run the same work.
• If you upload an existing CV to the standalone checker, it is parsed in memory and never written to storage or the database.
• Only a one-way fingerprint of the CV and job is retained, so re-checking the same pair replays the stored result instead of spending credits.
• Applying with the generated CV is always your decision — ResmiAI never submits an application for you.

5. How to improve your score honestly

• Use standard section headings and a single-column, text-based layout.
• Mirror the job description’s language where it genuinely describes what you did.
• Include the skills you actually have that the role asks for — never pad with skills you do not have.
• Quantify real results where you can, and remove decorative tables, text boxes and graphics.
• Review the recommendations from each check and re-check after editing — re-checks are free for the same CV and job.
