Jobscan for ATS Resume Optimization | Tool Overview

Most companies use software known as Applicant Tracking Systems (or ATS) to organize and filter job candidates. This means that a hiring manager might not look at every resume that gets submitted. Instead, they can use an ATS to search for candidates by keywords, skills, or other important factors. The Jobscan resume scanner gives you personalized tips to help you optimize your resume for applicant tracking systems.

It’s a good tool but not as simple to use as it sounds. Got my CV to perfection, then it deleted my entire work history, had to redo, then it lost two other sections, had to redo. Took forever. Got there in the end

I'm on the fence. But is the process this service uses, warts and all the same process, or at least part of the same process employers use to filter out resumes, and you actually get feedback to improve your chances of getting through that process, as dumb as that process is, worth it?

This is excruciatingly painful, especially when this jobscan thing gives a TON of kewyords.

I got an 80 percent match and I got a rejection letter, with premium subscription, help me make this make sense

[deborshikashyap]

My resume got 74% slightly lower than minimum rate

Capitalisms is so stupid because why do different companies have different ATSs meaning on one ATS you can score 80% and in another 45%/. TF! HR departments globally should use ONE standard of ATS.

Poor tool and a total con job. Software is patently unable to go through a presented resume and a job description with any germane global intelligence. It will tell you you have lost "match" points because you did not put in a link to the job description even though you did. It will remind you that the degree above yours is preferred and keep gigging you even though you have the required alternative education and experience. This tool can not discern. WORSE, it will tell you that you were a very good boy or girl for keeping your resume to less than 1000 words (Mine was at 710 and filled 2 pages) but the software will ignore the fact that the job description hard skills alone are, I shit you not 800 words in length and it will keep asking you to match what's in that 800 even though there is no real way to include company names and addresses, schools and courses in your resume and any real grammatically correct Language that can win over a hiring manager if you do match over 75%. I got to 40% and the rest of what is in the job description is just 41 different ways to say the same thing. What I learned that the only thing artificial about AI is the I part of it. What I also learned is that companies who clearly use ATS clearly have not been instructed in a way that hits home on how to write a job description for an ATS that does not know hits ATS from a hole in the ground. Given 800 words of hard skills this moronic thing looked for which words were repeated most often thinking the writer's inability to move on to the next concept was somehow germane to my ability to write with economy. What was it Twain said? "I am sorry to have written such a long letter as I did not have the time to write a short one". Corporate America: garbage in. garbage out and this is the new disposal.
