Your beautiful resume is probably failing you.
Roughly 70–75% of resumes never reach a human reviewer at large employers. Polished, design-heavy resumes often don't survive the parse — and you never find out why. You just stop hearing back.
ATS engines parse design into garbage: names get lost, dates get scrambled, skills disappear, columns get merged.
Three steps. No invented match-score theater.
Drop your resume
PDF or DOCX, up to 4 MB. We don't store the file — it's parsed in memory and never written to disk.
We parse it like an ATS does
We run the same kind of plain-text extraction and structural checks an ATS like Workday, Greenhouse, Taleo, or iCIMS uses to read your resume.

We don't sell templates.
Every other ATS tool is also a resume builder. We're not. Resume builders have a built-in conflict of interest — they want their templates to look like the answer.
We sell receipts. Build your resume wherever you want — then use us to verify it actually works.
Everything you need to pass the ATS — by platform, profession, and topic.
We've mapped how each major ATS engine parses resumes, written guides for every profession, and broken down the formatting rules that decide whether your application is even read.
The readable resume that every ATS lets through.
Enhancv, Canva, and Resume.io sell beautiful templates with two columns, sidebars, icon bullets, and custom fonts — every one of those choices is exactly what our scanner flags as a critical parse failure. Our rebuild gives you a professional, single-column version that parses cleanly on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, and iCIMS — and still looks like something a recruiter wants to read.
ChatGPT, Gemini, any AI chatbot — they rewrite your words. None of them see what the machine reads.
Ask ChatGPT — or Gemini, or any AI chatbot — to “make my resume ATS-friendly” and it edits the text you paste, confidently and sometimes wrongly. But it never opens your actual file, so it can’t see that your two-column layout scrambles your work history, or that the parser dropped your name. It guesses. We do the one thing no chatbot can: run your real file through the parse and show you exactly what came out.

AI chatbots are great writers. But they’re blind to the one thing that gets resumes silently rejected: how the file actually parses. That’s the only thing we do — and we hand you the receipt.
