Why ATS Score Matters

An ATS score gives you a quick read on how closely your resume fits a posting before you apply. A low score points to missing keywords or formatting problems you can fix. Improving it can help your resume reach a recruiter.

Example

A candidate pastes a job description and their resume into a checker and gets a score of 62 percent. After adding the missing skills from the posting, the score rises.
