How Applicant Tracking Systems Work

#c0392b

You submit your resume online — most employers use an ATS to receive and process applications automatically.

#e67e22

The ATS parses your resume, extracting text, keywords, job titles and dates. Formatting issues cause data loss.

#1a6ef5

The ATS compares your resume to the job description. Resumes below a score threshold are often auto-rejected.

#2ecc40

Only resumes that pass the ATS filter reach a human recruiter — which is why ATS optimisation matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — your resume is never uploaded to any server. It is read entirely within your browser using JavaScript's FileReader API. WorkersPool cannot see, access or store your resume at any point. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page — the tool will still work.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to receive, sort and filter job applications. Studies suggest that over 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before a human ever reads them. Optimising for ATS significantly increases your chances of getting to the interview stage.

PDF, DOCX (Microsoft Word) and plain TXT files are supported. Maximum file size is 5 MB. Note that PDF files with scanned images (rather than selectable text) cannot be read — ensure your PDF contains real text.

This tool provides a reliable estimate of ATS compatibility based on keyword matching, formatting rules and common ATS parser behaviour. However, different ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS) have different algorithms. Treat this as a strong guide rather than a guaranteed prediction.

A score of 70 or above is generally considered good. 80+ is strong. Below 50 suggests your resume needs significant keyword optimisation for that specific role. The score will always vary by job description — a resume optimised for one role will score differently for another.

No — keyword stuffing can actually hurt you. Add missing keywords naturally where they genuinely apply to your experience. If a keyword is not relevant to your background, do not add it just to improve the score. Humans still read the resumes that pass the ATS.
