ATS methodology

How Credensa reviews resumes.

The public ATS checker is a structured review tool. It helps identify practical resume issues before rewriting: missing keywords, weak sections, unclear proof, formatting risk, and unsupported claims.

01

Keyword relevance

Checks whether role terms appear naturally inside real summary, skills, experience, and project evidence.

02

Section completeness

Checks expected resume sections such as summary, skills, experience, projects, education, and role context.

03

Formatting signals

Checks parseable text, readable headings, clean structure, and document patterns recruiters can scan quickly.

04

Skill relevance

Checks whether skills match the target area and whether important skills are backed by proof.

05

Experience clarity

Checks whether bullets explain ownership, work performed, tools used, and observable outcomes.

06

Project impact

Checks whether projects show problem, stack, architecture, implementation, and result.

Role-specific guidance

The same resume should not target every job.

Credensa maintains role-specific ATS pages so candidates can compare resume language against the actual signals expected for AI, data, cybersecurity, cloud, software, product, design, and business roles.

Limits to remember

  • The score is not a hiring decision or interview guarantee.

  • The scan cannot predict every employer ATS configuration.

  • Resume strength still depends on proof, role fit, writing clarity, and human review.

  • Users should not add skills, metrics, or achievements they cannot support.
