Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS score?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score estimates how well your resume matches a job description. Most companies use ATS software to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. A low score means your resume may never reach a recruiter.
What score should I aim for?
Aim for 75+ for a strong match. Below 60 means you're likely missing critical keywords or have formatting issues that hurt ATS parsing.
Does formatting affect my ATS score?
Yes significantly. Tables, columns, headers/footers, and images can all confuse ATS parsers. Cognify flags these issues in the report.
Should I paste my resume or upload a file?
V1 supports pasting plain text. Copy your resume from Word or Google Docs and paste it into the field. File upload support is on our roadmap.
