Below is a real scan report from a 2-column resume — the kind Canva, Enhancv, and most resume builders produce by default. Every issue you see is detected by the same parser we run on your file. Scroll through, then upload your own to see what yours actually looks like.
Sidebar content (CONTACT…) appears 21 lines before your "PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY" section. ATS reads in document order, not visual order.
Tokens like "StrategyRoadmappingA/B", "SQLUser", "ResearchFigmaJiraMixpanel" appear in your extracted text — these are typically tools or systems laid out in a table where each cell held one term. The ATS concatenates cells with no separator, so "StrategyRoadmappingA/B" should be "Strategy·Roadmapping·A/B" — but right now no recruiter searching for any single term in there will match you.
Date ranges like "2013 – 2017" use just years — no months. Some ATS engines need month resolution to compute tenure correctly, and can mis-categorize roles as "less than 1 year" when they shouldn't.
8 lines start with non-standard symbol characters (e.g., "▸ Led launch of SMB lending product — $4"). These are usually custom chevron or check-mark icons that ATS parsers store literally — recruiters then see boxes or junk before each bullet.
Your email "sarah.chen@email.com" appears 3 times in the document — typically a sign it's set in the page header or footer of every page. Some ATS engines explicitly skip header/footer regions, treating them as boilerplate.
You use the em-dash character (—) 5 times. Modern ATS engines handle this fine, but a few legacy systems (Taleo, older iCIMS) convert em-dashes inconsistently — sometimes to spaces, sometimes to question marks.
One additional issue identified — surfaced and fixed in the rebuild. Low severity on its own, but it pushes the resume into the ATS-safe range when fixed alongside the three above.
Parses cleanly on every major ATS — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS, SuccessFactors. Pick a tier below based on how much writing help you want.
Same parser-safe foundation. Different amounts of writing help — from “keep my words exactly” to “tune everything to a job description.”
No subscription. No auto-renewal. Pay once — your resume, yours forever.
No risk to cancel and forget and get charged extra. No card stored after purchase.
Best if your resume already says what you want — it just doesn't parse cleanly.
Best if your bullets are wordy, weak, or generic — let AI rewrite them in STAR / XYZ / PAR format.
Best if you're applying for one specific role — tune your resume to that JD's keywords.
Most resumes that look great to humans break at the parser. The only way to know what yours does is to drop the file. Free scan, no signup, 10 seconds — same report as above, but specific to your file.
