Question 1

What is an ATS, and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software companies use to collect, sort, and rank job applications — most mid-size and large employers use one. It rarely rejects you outright on keywords; instead, recruiters search and rank applicants by how closely each resume matches the job. The right keywords decide whether you surface near the top or get buried under hundreds of other applicants.

Question 2

Why do good resumes get rejected?

Accepted Answer

Usually it's volume, not a robot. A single opening can draw hundreds of applicants, and a recruiter skims each one in seconds — so if your wording doesn't obviously match the job, you rank lower and get passed over. Matching the exact skills and phrases the posting uses puts you where recruiters actually look.

Question 3

Will this actually get my resume past the ATS?

Accepted Answer

We show you exactly which keywords and requirements you're missing for a specific job, and on paid plans rewrite your experience to include them truthfully. That directly raises how well your resume matches what recruiters and the ATS rank on. No tool can guarantee an interview, but matching the job's language is the single biggest lever you control.

Question 4

How is the match score calculated?

Accepted Answer

We identify the most important skills and phrases the job screens for, then check how many already appear in your resume. The score is simply matched ÷ total — so 60% means your resume covers 60% of the key terms. We show you the exact matched and missing lists, so the number is never a black box.

Question 5

Do you store my resume?

Accepted Answer

Your free scan isn't retained on our server after the response is produced. If you proceed to checkout, we temporarily hold the scan content (keyed to that Stripe Checkout session) so we can recover and deliver the order even if you return on another device or lose local browser data. It is automatically deleted within 48 hours whether or not checkout is completed, and it is never sold. Payments are handled securely by Stripe; we never see your card details.

Question 6

Is the scan really free? What do the paid plans include?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the scan, your match score, and a sample of your missing keywords are free, with no signup. Paid plans unlock the full keyword list ($9), an ATS-optimized rewrite of your summary and bullets ($19), or a finished, ready-to-send ATS resume document ($29). A custom cover letter is an optional +$9 add-on.
