Built to get through an ATS

  • Real, selectable text in the PDF, never a picture of text.
  • Standard section headings that tracking systems recognize, like Experience, Education and Skills.
  • Audited: we fill Beacon with a full sample resume, export the PDF and read it back the way an ATS does, field by field.
