ATS Platform Guides
How each ATS actually parses your resume.
Every major Applicant Tracking System parses resumes differently. What breaks Workday may pass Greenhouse. What Taleo demands, iCIMS forgives. Pick your target ATS below for the platform-specific failure modes and resume tips.
Workday →
The Fortune 500 standard. Strictest parsing rules. Most failures happen here.
Greenhouse →
Tech-startup favorite. Forgiving on format but strict on field extraction.
Lever →
Mid-stage company default. Headline-driven extraction.
Taleo (Oracle) →
Legacy enterprise ATS. Strict format, plain-text only. If you parse here, you parse anywhere.
iCIMS →
Retail/logistics standard. Modern engine with OCR fallback.
SAP SuccessFactors →
European and German-engineering favorite. Default ATS for SAP-stack employers across MEA, Asia, and Europe.
BambooHR →
SMB and HR-tech standard. Common at US companies under 500 employees. Modern, forgiving parser.
Jobvite →
Mid-market US ATS for industries where Workday is overkill and Greenhouse hasn't penetrated.
Ashby →
The modern all-in-one behind YC startups and AI companies. Capable ML parser — but punishes over-designed PDFs.
SmartRecruiters →
Global enterprise hiring platform, strong in Europe. AI ranking layer means keywords matter as much as format.
Workable →
The SMB and mid-market standard worldwide, especially UK/EU. Capable parser plus an AI screening layer.
