Key Takeaways

  • 75% of U.S. employers use automated applicant tracking systems to screen resumes before a human reviews them (Harvard Business School & Accenture, 2021)
  • The most common ATS failures are missing keywords, incompatible formatting, and incorrect file types
  • ResumeGeni scores your resume across 8 parsing layers — modeled on the same steps enterprise ATS platforms like Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo use to evaluate candidates

How ATS Resume Scoring Works

Applicant tracking systems parse your resume into structured data — extracting your name, contact info, work history, skills, and education — then score how well that data matches the job requirements. Many ATS rejections happen because the parser couldn't extract critical fields, not because the candidate wasn't qualified.

LayerWhat It ChecksWhy It Matters
Document extractionFile format, encoding, readabilityCorrupted or image-only PDFs fail immediately
Layout analysisTables, columns, headers, footersMulti-column layouts break field extraction
Section detectionExperience, education, skills headingsNon-standard headings cause sections to be missed
Field mappingName, email, phone, dates, titlesMissing contact info is a common cause of immediate rejection
Keyword matchingJob-specific terms, skills, certificationsKeyword overlap affects recruiter search visibility and ATS scoring
Chronology checkDate ordering, gap detectionReverse-chronological order is expected by most ATS
QuantificationMetrics, numbers, measurable outcomesQuantified achievements help human reviewers and some scoring models
Confidence scoringOverall parse quality and completenessLow-confidence parses get deprioritized in results

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ResumeGeni free?
Yes. ResumeGeni is currently in beta — ATS analysis, scoring, and initial improvement suggestions are free with no signup required. Full guidance and saved reports may require a free account.
What file formats are supported?
PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, RTF, ODT, and Apple Pages. PDF and DOCX are recommended for best ATS compatibility.
How is the ATS score calculated?
Your resume is processed through an 8-layer parsing pipeline that extracts structured data the same way enterprise ATS platforms do. The score reflects how completely and accurately your resume can be parsed, plus how well your content matches common ATS ranking criteria.
Can ATS read PDF resumes?
Yes, but not all PDFs are equal. Text-based PDFs parse well. Image-only PDFs (scanned documents) and PDFs with complex tables or multi-column layouts often fail ATS parsing. Our analyzer will flag these issues.
How do I improve my ATS score?
Focus on three areas: use a clean single-column format, include keywords from the job description naturally in your experience bullets, and ensure all sections (contact, experience, education, skills) use standard headings.

General Manager, Georgia

Abby Care · Atlanta

About Abby Care

Making family care possible. At Abby Care, we are tackling one of the most important and unsolved challenges of our time: family caregiving.

Over 50 million Americans are family caregivers for loved ones without pay, tools, or support. Our mission is clear and ambitious: to train and employ family caregivers so they can get paid for the care they already provide at home.

Abby Care is building a tech-powered, family-first care platform to efficiently deliver care, improve health outcomes, and provide the best-in-class experience nationwide.

We are rapidly expanding our mission and looking for passionate team members to join. Abby Care has partnered with leading insurance plans, healthcare providers, and community organizations. We’re supported by top, mission-driven VCs to empower families throughout the country.

The Role

We’re looking for a driven, ambitious leader to join us as General Manager of Georgia. This hybrid role is based in Atlanta, Georgia and is ideal for someone with a strong track record operating in complex, high-growth environments and leading teams at scale. You’ll have full autonomy and end-to-end ownership of the market, with the freedom to think creatively and execute decisively to drive meaningful impact.

You’ll own the success of the Georgia market and lead its growth from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the market strategy and P&L. Identify growth opportunities and partnerships, assess the competitive landscape, and evolve positioning in close partnership with company leadership.

  • Drive operational excellence. Lead day-to-day market operations across sales, support, and clinical delivery, using KPIs to hold teams accountable and continuously improve performance.

  • Build and lead high-performing teams. Hire, develop, and manage values-driven operators, builders, and growth leaders as the market scales.

  • Serve as the market lead and brand ambassador. Build strong relationships with users, partners, and stakeholders to establish a trusted presence in Georgia.

  • Scale with speed and flexibility. Navigate rapid growth and regulatory complexity while maintaining an exceptional patient experience.

  • Partner cross-functionally. Collaborate with operations, clinical, and product teams to shape strategy and inform the company roadmap.

The Requirements:

  • 7+ years of analytical, strategic operations experience, with a proven track record leading a company or market through hypergrowth (3–4x YoY) and managing an 8–9 figure P&L.

  • Startup operator experience preferred, especially in fast-paced, boots-on-the-ground environments.

  • Proven people builder. Experience scaling operations teams from ~15 to 45+, with a strong reputation as a leader and recruiting magnet.

  • Strategic and execution-oriented. Able to set direction, align teams to the company mission, and drive toward clear, measurable growth goals.

  • Highly data-driven. Comfortable using analytics and metrics to inform decisions and course-correct quickly.

  • Hands-on, high-ownership mindset. Willing to get in the weeds, move fast, and handle the realities of an early-stage startup—this is not a traditional 9–5.

  • Full commitment required. This role is full-time and your top priority, with the expectation of growing alongside the company over the next 1–2 years.

    Redefining healthcare starts with how we treat the parents and children we serve. We go above and beyond for every family, building strong, lasting relationships. We continually ask ourselves, “Would we want this for our own families?”

  2. Urgency with Precision
    Millions of families are waiting for care, and they cannot wait, therefore this is not your typical 9 to 5 job. We match their urgency with our own, delivering exceptional care without compromise. Here, speed and excellence go hand in hand.

  3. Relentlessly Resourceful
    As an ambitious startup, we adapt quickly and make the most of limited time and resources. We solve challenges with creativity to deliver results without unnecessary complexity.

  4. Purpose with Positivity
    We take our mission seriously while never losing sight of the people behind the work. Respect, kindness, memes, and coffee make us stronger as a team and better for the families we serve.

  5. Driven to Redefine What’s Possible
    We are here to make healthcare better, which means asking hard questions, challenging outdated systems, and finding smarter, more compassionate ways to deliver care.
