Resume score.

A score of 70% or higher means most of the job description's keywords and skills appear in your resume. Below 60% means many of them are missing. Match the exact phrases the employer uses.

ATS systems parse your resume into structured fields (name, experience, skills, education) and match keywords against the job description. They rank candidates by match percentage. Simple formatting, standard section headings, and relevant keywords improve your parse rate.

Common failures: tables and columns that break parsing, images or graphics the system cannot read, creative section headings it does not recognize, missing keywords from the job description, and file formats other than PDF or DOCX.

Yes. The score measures how closely your resume matches the job description you paste in. Tailoring to that description raises it. Focus on the skills, tools, and qualifications the posting names. Use the words the employer uses.

Include 15 to 25 relevant keywords from the job description. Place them naturally in your experience bullets and skills section. Keyword stuffing hurts readability and some ATS systems penalize it. Quality placement matters more than quantity.
