How it works

A source résumé that gets stronger every time you use it.

Keep named source résumés for different directions. Create a free account for Job Match; ATS Check and Builder remain available without one. PassATS records which source each application used, so reruns stay on that source.

The loop

Build once. Repeat the rest.

  1. 01 SOURCE

    Written once

    Paste, upload, or build a source résumé. Analysis Pack and Free include 1 saved résumé, Essentials up to 3, and Monthly up to 5. Choose the source you want to use for each application.

  2. 02 JOB

    A real posting

    Paste the job description. PassATS uses ATS-style checks for keywords, sections, and structure; it does not claim to reproduce every employer’s parser.

  3. 03 SCORE

    What it wants, and what you don’t prove yet

    Every job match includes ATS-style scoring, a breakdown, and the specific keywords your selected source résumé is missing. Enhanced analyses add the tailored résumé, cover letter, and interview prep; Monthly/trial adds outreach and the rest of the job-search toolkit. The application records that source, and reruns use it unless you explicitly choose another.

  4. 04 EVIDENCE

    Your words, saved when you choose

    Save the application, then review each missing keyword. If it’s genuinely true, write the evidence in your own words and choose Confirm and add to save it to the selected source résumé.

Your selected source is now stronger

Only evidence you wrote and saved with Confirm and add becomes part of the source résumé. Rerun the application with that same source, or explicitly choose another source to start a new match.

Steps 02–03, for real

This is what a clean parser reads. Anything marked or [ NULL ] may be dropped entirely — a stricter ATS does worse.

Why a keyword scores the way it does

  • ReactFound "React" in your résumé.
  • GraphQL"GraphQL" doesn't appear in your résumé — Taleo and Workday match ATS keywords literally, exact spelling only, so a synonym or abbreviation elsewhere won't count.

Evidence question 1 of 4

This role asks for GraphQL. Is that genuinely part of your experience?

Confirm the fact before using the language. This can improve keyword coverage by about 4 points. Answering yes only shows an example; to save evidence, write your own words and choose Confirm and add to the selected source.

Yes — show me how to express itNo — skip it

Nothing is saved by answering yes alone. Evidence is saved to the selected source only after you write it and choose Confirm and add — see the loop above.

Two doors, one destination

Start wherever you are. Everything leads to Match.

Builder

You don’t have a résumé yet, or what you have is scattered notes.

Structures what you give it into a clean, ATS-readable document. It may rephrase for clarity, but it will not invent experience or metrics; scoring stays in Match.

ATS Check

You have a résumé and want to check common parser-readability issues.

No job description needed. Shows what PassATS’s ATS-style parser extracts and what it drops — not a guarantee about every ATS.

MATCH

You have a résumé — does it fit this job?

This is the loop above. Every application starts here, whichever door you came in through.
