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.

Senior Paid Advertising Strategist

Omniscient · Argentina - Remote

Omniscient Digital is an organic growth agency that partners with ambitious B2B SaaS companies like SAP, Adobe, Loom, and Hotjar to turn SEO and content into growth engines.

About Omniscient Digital

Omniscient Digital is an AI-first B2B organic growth agency serving approximately 30 clients across 12 countries, including enterprise accounts like SAP and Adobe. We specialize in SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), content strategy, and digital PR for B2B SaaS companies. Our team of roughly 35 people operates fully remote across the US and Latin America.

We are building a paid media practice from the ground up. This is a foundational hire: you will be the first dedicated paid media strategist at Omniscient, responsible for proving the service line, establishing processes, and laying the groundwork for a team. If you want to build something from scratch inside a profitable, bootstrapped agency with a strong existing client base, this role is for you.

The Role

You own paid media strategy, execution, and performance for an initial book of 3-5 B2B SaaS clients who have already expressed demand for this service. You work alongside our organic strategists to build integrated growth programs where paid and organic reinforce each other. This is not a siloed paid role. You will sit at the intersection of our SEO, GEO, and content work, using paid to accelerate results and capture demand that organic surfaces.

Because this is a 0-to-1 build, the first 90 days are as much about proving the model as they are about campaign performance. You will define the playbook, establish reporting frameworks, and demonstrate unit economics that justify scaling the practice.

Responsibilities

Campaign Strategy and Execution

  • Own end-to-end campaign management across Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Meta Ads for B2B SaaS clients

  • Build, launch, and optimize paid search, paid social, display, and YouTube campaigns tied to pipeline and revenue goals

  • Manage client budgets ranging from $20K-$200K+/month with full accountability for ROAS, CPL, and CAC targets

  • Execute keyword research, audience development, bid optimization, ad copy creation, and landing page recommendations

  • Develop and run structured testing programs across creative, audiences, bidding strategies, and campaign structures

Integration with Organic Growth

  • Collaborate with SEO and content strategists to build integrated paid-organic programs that maximize total growth

  • Use paid to amplify high-performing organic content, capture branded and non-branded demand, and accelerate time-to-pipeline

  • Develop paid strategies informed by our GEO and AI visibility research, particularly around AI-driven search and LLM citation patterns

  • Identify cross-sell opportunities within existing organic-only accounts and support business development with paid media audits and proposals

Reporting, Analysis, and Client Communication

  • Own weekly and monthly performance reporting with clear narrative connecting spend to pipeline impact

  • Present results and strategic recommendations to clients and internal stakeholders with business-level context, not just platform metrics

  • Build attribution frameworks that connect paid activity to downstream revenue, working with client marketing and sales teams

  • Leverage AI tools and automation to streamline campaign management, reporting, and optimization workflows

Practice Building (0-to-1)

  • Define and document the Omniscient paid media playbook: processes, SOPs, templates, QA checklists, and onboarding flows

  • Establish pricing and packaging recommendations for paid media services based on early engagement learnings

  • Prove unit economics within the first 90 days to build the case for scaling the team

  • Contribute to hiring and onboarding the next 1-2 paid media team members as the practice grows

Requirements

Must-Have

  • 4-6+ years of hands-on paid media experience, with at least 2 years in a B2B SaaS or B2B lead gen context

  • 2+ years in an agency setting managing multiple client accounts simultaneously

  • Deep proficiency in Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, YouTube, Display) and LinkedIn Ads

  • Proven experience managing $50K-$200K+ monthly ad budgets with direct accountability for performance

  • Strong command of campaign architecture, bid strategies, audience targeting, conversion tracking, and attribution

  • Experience with full-funnel B2B marketing: demand gen, lead gen, ABM, and pipeline acceleration

  • Excellent client communication skills with the ability to translate platform data into business-level insights

  • Self-directed operator who thrives with autonomy and minimal hand-holding

Strong Preferences

  • Experience building a paid media function or service line from scratch (agency or in-house)

  • Familiarity with SEO and content marketing, and a genuine interest in how paid and organic work together

  • Comfort with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for campaign optimization, ad copy generation, and workflow automation

  • Experience with Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar CRM/analytics platforms

  • Meta Ads experience for B2B (not required but a plus, given the B2C-heavy nature of Meta)

  • Familiarity with programmatic, CTV, or Reddit Ads as emerging B2B channels

Key Performance Indicators

Your success will be measured against clear outcomes, not activity metrics:

  • Client ROAS and CPL/CAC targets met or exceeded across your book of business

  • Client retention rate above 90% for paid media engagements

  • Documented, repeatable playbook delivered within 90 days

  • Positive unit economics (team-member EBITDA target) demonstrated by end of Q3 2026

  • At least 2 case studies with quantified results within first 6 months

Why Omniscient Digital

  • Foundational role: you are building this from scratch with full ownership and a direct line to the CEO

  • Built-in demand: clients are already asking for paid media, so you start with warm opportunities, not a cold pipeline

  • AI-first culture: we invest heavily in AI tooling and workflows, and expect you to push what is possible in paid media with AI

  • Strong organic foundation: you are joining an agency with deep SEO, GEO, and content expertise, giving your paid work strategic context that most agencies lack

  • Bootstrapped and profitable: no VC pressure, no burn rate anxiety, just smart growth

  • Fully remote with a collaborative, async-first team across the US and Latin America

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation will be commensurate with experience and includes base salary plus performance-based bonuses tied to client retention and practice growth milestones. We offer flexible PTO, a fully remote work environment, and the opportunity to shape a new service line with significant upside as the practice scales.

How to Apply

Send your resume, a brief note on why this role interests you, and one example of a B2B paid campaign you managed (include context on budget, goals, and results). Bonus points if you can articulate how you would integrate paid with an existing organic growth program.
