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.

The Opportunity

An amazing opportunity to be the first Customer Value Director in Asia Pacific! We are looking for an incredible strategic partner to senior leadership within Adobe’s most critical customers for the region, focused on delivering measurable business value from Adobe investments. 

The role is uniquely positioned at the intersection of customer success, delivery and sales, taking a long-term, outcome-led view of the transformation journey, with clear accountability for tracking, demonstrating, and communicating business value realization. 

This role leads internal cross-functional teams and partners to orchestrate execution against the customer’s strategic goals—driving alignment, tracking progress, and articulating value realization, with a focus on business outcomes over project oversight.

Value governance: Define, track, and evolve KPIs aligned to customer objectives and value realization. Establish a governance rhythm with customer and Adobe teams to review progress and recalibrate where needed. Lead the articulation of success through reporting and storytelling to showcase impact over time.

Executive Partnership: Build and maintain trusted, strategic relationships with customer executives and senior stakeholders. Serve as the executive voice of Adobe, aligning communications to both business and technical leadership audiences. Elevate Adobe’s position as a long-term transformation partner, driving shared vision and sustained engagement.

Voice of Customer: Represent the voice of customer internally to align teams, remove blockers, and influence roadmap discussion. Drive cross-functional engagement across Sales, Professional Services, Product, Support through insights, risks, and opportunity spotting.   Build strategic relationships to support the Adobe brand and growth in market. Represent Adobe through thought leadership, networking, targeted engagement.

What you’ll need to succeed 

  • Extensive relevant experience in digital transformation, value consulting, value engineering and/or a background in complex technology delivery/transformation programmes. 
  • Capability to exert influence on both customer stakeholders and internal Adobe counterparts, navigating challenging conversations that may emerge during the customer journey
