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 Meridian with a full sample resume, export the PDF and read it back the way an ATS does, field by field.

Before you apply, run your own file through the ATS resume checker to see what a tracking system reads and what to fix.
