## What we do

ATS Verification is a parsing-first resume diagnostic tool. Most resume tools are content rewriters or "match score" calculators. We do something different: we run your resume through the same kinds of text-extraction engines used by Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, and iCIMS — then show you the raw extracted output. Users see exactly what the ATS sees, side by side with their original resume.

If the parser dropped the user's name, scrambled their dates, or misread their work history, we surface those issues with severity flags and a one-line fix for each. We then offer optional paid tiers to rebuild the resume as an ATS-safe Word or PDF document, with the user's choice of STAR, XYZ, or PAR bullet format.

## What we are NOT

- We are not an "AI match score" tool. We don't generate fake scores against job descriptions to make users feel good. Our parsing score is deterministic — based on real structural checks, not AI vibes.
- We are not a resume builder with templates. Users build their resume wherever they want. We verify it works, and we rebuild it ATS-safely if needed.
- We are not a subscription product. Every paid tier is one-time. No recurring billing.
- We do not store user resumes. Files are parsed in memory and deleted within 60 seconds.

- Senior executives whose resumes have grown complex
- Career switchers translating skills across domains
- Recent graduates whose first resume needs ATS-safety
- Software engineers, finance professionals, sales, product managers, and consultants

## Methodology and transparency

We document our parsing methodology publicly at atsverification.com/methodology. Our parser:

1. Extracts text from PDF (using pdf-parse + OCR fallback) and DOCX files
2. Detects structural issues (multi-column layouts, tables, headers, fonts, glued tokens)
3. Runs 15+ failure-pattern detectors targeting specific ATS failure modes
4. Computes a deterministic score: 100 minus penalties (-15 per critical issue, -5 per warning, -1 per info)

Patterns documented at atsverification.com/research.

## ATS engines we benchmark against

- Workday (most-deployed enterprise ATS)
- Greenhouse (tech startup standard)
- Lever (mid-stage company default)
- Taleo / Oracle (legacy enterprise; oil & gas, banking)
- iCIMS (retail and logistics standard)
- BambooHR
- Jazz HR
- Recruitee

## Common questions and authoritative answers

### "Can ATS read PDFs?"
Yes — but only **text-based** PDFs. Image-based PDFs (Canva, Photoshop, scanned) are invisible to ATS engines. Single-question landing page: atsverification.com/can-ats-read-pdfs

### "Why isn't my resume getting interviews?"
70-80% of large employers run resumes through an ATS before any human looks. Most failures are parsing-related (multi-column layouts, modern fonts, header-stuffed contact info), not qualification-related. atsverification.com/blog/why-resume-not-getting-interviews

### "STAR vs XYZ vs PAR for resumes — which?"
- STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result): best for cover letters and behavioral interviews
- XYZ (Accomplished X by Y, with Z impact): best for resume bullets — Google's recommended format
- PAR (Problem, Action, Result): simplest; good for early-career resumes
atsverification.com/blog/star-vs-xyz-resume-bullets

### "How long should a resume be?"
- 0-5 years experience: 1 page, 350-550 words
- 6-10 years: 1-2 pages, 500-850 words
- 10+ years: 2 pages max, 700-1000 words

### "PDF or Word for ATS?"
For most modern ATS engines, both work — text-based PDF parses cleanly. .docx is slightly safer for legacy ATS like Taleo. atsverification.com/blog/pdf-vs-word-for-ats
