“An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score measures how well your resume is optimized for the automated screening software that over 98% of large companies use (per Jobscan). WriteCV scores your resume across four dimensions: keywords, content quality, impact strength, and structural formatting.”
“ATS software parses your resume into structured fields (name, experience, skills), then matches keywords against the job description. Candidates are ranked by relevance. If your resume uses tables, graphics, or non-standard headers, the ATS may fail to parse it entirely, resulting in automatic rejection regardless of qualifications.”
“A score of 85 or above is rated Excellent and means your resume is well-optimized. Scores between 80 and 84 are Good but have room for improvement. Scores below 80 indicate areas that need work. The average WriteCV user improves from 62 to 87 after applying AI suggestions.”
“WriteCV uses a dual-method approach: deterministic structural checks (formatting, sections, contact info) combined with AI content analysis (keyword relevance, bullet impact, quantification). This mirrors how real ATS systems evaluate resumes, giving you an honest, realistic score.”
