4

Fill Your Details Thoroughly

Write detailed, descriptive bullet points for experience, projects, and skills. The more context you provide, the better the AI enhancement. Include what you did, tools used, and measurable results.

6

Apply Missing Keywords

The ATS panel shows missing keywords from the job description. Tap individual keywords to add them one by one, or use 'Auto-Apply Missing Keywords' to add all skill-type keywords to your Skills section instantly.

7

Enhance with AI

Tap Enhance All to rewrite your bullet points and descriptions — concise, impactful, and ATS-optimized. Each bullet gets a strong action verb while preserving your original meaning. You can undo any AI change within a few seconds.

Tips for Best Results

  • ●Always paste the job description — it unlocks keyword matching and can boost your score by 40 points
  • ●Write detailed bullet points — "Built a dashboard using React and SQL that reduced reporting time by 40%" is far better than "Built a dashboard"
  • ●Include numbers, metrics, and percentages wherever possible — AI preserves these exactly
  • ●Use the "✨ Fix" button on individual bullets that have suggestions — it fixes specific issues like missing action verbs or weak phrasing
  • ●Tap any missing keyword chip with "+" to add it individually, or use Auto-Apply for bulk addition
  • ●Gray keywords in the missing list are domain terms — mention them in your summary or experience bullets instead of skills
  • ●Use Enhance All after filling all fields, not in between — it works on everything at once
  • ●All AI actions have an undo button that appears for a few seconds — tap it if you prefer the original
  • ●Red dots on section tabs show which sections still need attention before downloading

What is ATS?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software that companies use to filter resumes before a human ever reads them. Over 90% of large companies use ATS to scan, rank, and shortlist candidates. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it gets rejected automatically — no matter how qualified you are. Our templates are specifically built to pass these scans with clean formatting, proper headings, and parseable text.
