ATS Checker

TalenCat CV Maker features an "ATS Checker," specifically designed to help your resume adapt to the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) commonly used by employers. By analyzing your resume's compatibility with the target job, it provides precise optimization suggestions to increase your chances of passing initial screenings.

About ATS​

An ATS is an automated system used by companies to manage recruitment processes, capable of quickly filtering large volumes of resumes. It evaluates resumes based on keyword presence, skill matching, formatting compliance, and other criteria to automatically discard unqualified submissions before they reach recruiters.

The "ATS Checker" in TalenCat CV Maker helps you avoid common pitfalls that might lead to your resume being filtered out, ensuring that it aligns with ATS recognition standards and thereby increasing your chances of success.
