Question 1

What is an ATS and why does it reject resumes?

Accepted Answer

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software companies use to automatically filter job applications before a human sees them. It scans for specific keywords, checks formatting, and scores resumes. If your resume is missing the right terms — even if you are qualified — it gets rejected automatically. Applyr identifies exactly what each specific ATS is looking for 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.
