Question 1

What is an ATS and how does it affect my resume?

Accepted Answer

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software companies use to store, organize, and search job applications. It scans for specific keywords, checks formatting, and often scores resumes for recruiters to search and filter by. If your resume is missing the right terms — even if you are qualified — you can end up invisible to those searches. Applyr identifies exactly what keywords and formatting patterns matter and tells you what to fix.

Question 2

How is Applyr different from ChatGPT for resume optimization?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT doesn't know what keywords a specific ATS is scanning for. You'd have to manually extract them, tell the AI what to fix, then reformat the output. Applyr does all of that automatically in 8 seconds — keyword extraction, gap analysis, score, and rewrite — for a specific job posting.

Question 3

How accurate is the ATS score?

Accepted Answer

Applyr's scoring analyzes keyword match, section structure, formatting compatibility, and experience relevance — the same signals real ATS platforms use. It's a job-specific match score against the actual job description you paste, not a generic readability score.

Question 4

Which ATS platforms does Applyr optimize for?

Accepted Answer

Applyr optimizes for the most widely used platforms: Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS, and BambooHR — covering 90%+ of corporate hiring.
