Frequently asked questions
FAQs about AI Resume Checker
What is an ATS, and why is it important?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is recruiting software used by companies to manage, organize, and search job applications. It acts as a database, helping recruiters filter resumes based on job-specific criteria.
Why it matters:
- ATS Usage: 99% of Fortune 500 companies, and over 70% of large US corporations use an ATS in their hiring process.
- Impact on Job Seekers: Without ATS optimization, your resume may never reach a human recruiter, significantly lowering your chances of landing an interview.
What are keywords, and why are they important?
Keywords are specific terms and phrases from a job description that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) look for when screening resumes. These include job titles, skills, qualifications, and industry jargon.
Why they matter:
- Screening: To an ATS, keywords are like digital qualifications; their presence (or absence) can significantly impact your chances of landing an interview. Resumes lacking relevant keywords are often rejected by ATS, never reaching a human reviewer.
- Interview Chances: Including job-specific keywords in the right context increases your chances of passing the ATS filter.
What is an ATS score, and how is it calculated?
The ATS score evaluates how well your resume matches a job posting based on criteria relevant to Applicant Tracking Systems.
Upplai’s AI analyzes the job description to identify the most relevant keywords and their importance to the role (based on their frequency in the job description). It then scans your resume to determine which keywords are present, how well they’re used, and how frequently they appear. For example, listing “SQL” as a standalone skill is less impactful than referencing it in an achievement, like “Optimized database queries using SQL to improve efficiency by 30%”. Similarly, using “SQL” multiple times, where relevant, strengthens the ATS score.
Upplai’s ATS score considers:
- Keyword Presence: The number of relevant keywords included in your resume.
- Keyword Importance: The weight given to each keyword based on its frequency in the job description.
- Contextual Usage: How well the keywords are integrated into your professional summary, achievements and experience.
- Frequency of Use: How frequently the keyword is used in your resume.
- Readability: The format of your resume, including factors like images, tables, complex formatting, font size, and contrast, which can affect how easily an ATS can parse the information.
The overall ATS score is designed to give you an indication of how your resume might perform when processed by an ATS.
What is a good ATS Score?
An ATS score above 70 (out of 100) generally indicates a low risk of your resume being filtered out by an Applicant Tracking System. However, higher scores are always better, and aiming for a score above 80 is a good goal.
What is a Resume Match Score, and how is it calculated?
The Resume Match Score evaluates how well your resume aligns with the specific requirements of a job posting.
- Key Requirements: Upplai’s advanced AI analyzes the job description to identify key requirements and their relative importance to the hiring manager. These requirements are categorized into areas like work experience, hard skills, soft skills, educational qualifications, and “nice-to-haves.”
- Scoring: Each requirement is scored based on importance and whether your resume matches it. For example, matching a “must-have” requirement like “3 years of JavaScript experience” contributes more to the score than a “nice-to-have” like “familiarity with Python.”
- Overall Score: The overall Resume Match Score (sometimes referred to as the Job Match Score) is a weighted average across all requirements, providing a clear indication of how well your qualifications align with the job.
What is a good Resume Match Score?
A Resume Match Score above 80 (out of 100) suggests a strong alignment with the recruiter’s requirements. However, it’s important to consider other factors like the number of applicants and how long the job posting has been open for. In highly competitive situations with many applicants, you may need a score closer to 100 to be even considered for an interview.
