Frequently Asked Questions

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to filter and rank job applications. Most large companies use ATS to screen resumes before a human ever sees them. If your resume isn't ATS-compatible, it may be automatically rejected regardless of your qualifications. ResumeAI Scanner helps you identify and fix ATS issues to ensure your resume gets seen.

ResumeAI Scanner uses AI to analyze your resume's formatting, structure, and content. We check for common ATS issues like improper formatting, missing keywords, non-standard section headers, and parsing problems. We then compare your resume against the job description to identify keyword gaps and provide a comprehensive ATS score with actionable recommendations.

ResumeAI Scanner supports PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT file formats. For best results, we recommend using a simple DOCX or PDF format without complex graphics, tables, or text boxes that ATS systems struggle to parse.

Our AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify not just exact keyword matches, but also synonyms, related terms, and semantic equivalents. We analyze both hard skills (technical abilities) and soft skills (interpersonal qualities) to give you a comprehensive view of how well your resume aligns with the job requirements.

Your privacy is our priority. Resume data is only stored if you create an account and choose to save your scans. You can delete your data at any time. We never share your resume with employers, recruiters, or third parties. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
