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.

Growth Content & Community Manager

Oneleet · United States

About Oneleet

Oneleet is one of the fastest-growing security and compliance platforms in history. We are on a mission to change the compliance and security industry by making cybersecurity and compliance effective, easy, and painless. We provide a platform that helps companies build, manage, and monitor their cybersecurity programs and achieve compliance standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 efficiently, without cutting corners.

Having just raised a $33 million Series A, we are rapidly growing in customers and employees. Our team has decades of experience in security and compliance. Join our team of opinionated rebels and help us build a category-defining company reshaping the broken and fragmented compliance and cybersecurity industry.


Who we’re looking for:

We value passionate self-starters with a growth mindset and a bias for action and personal accountability. If you love solving hard problems, thrive in ambiguity, and want to make a real impact, you’ll fit right in.

We’re especially drawn to:

  • Rebels with a cause — frustrated with the status quo and eager to disrupt it.

  • Opinionated (but not obstinate) builders — decisive yet collaborative, who help us move fast.

  • Clear communicators — who own their ideas and follow through.

Our mission is simple: make effective cybersecurity painless. We believe cybersecurity should empower, not burden. This belief unites our team and drives every decision we make.

If you’re ready to challenge the status quo and help shape the future of cybersecurity, we’d love to meet you.

The Role

We are looking for a Growth Content and Community Manager who wants to build a cult following around the best security and compliance platform on the planet, someone who thrives where speed, ownership, and impact matter. We are looking for someone who will have an outsized impact on a startup that already has a rocket ship trajectory.

You will own our entire content and community presence from scratch. Your job is to make Oneleet impossible to ignore.

You will pick fights with the status quo, challenge how the industry thinks about compliance, and build a tribe of people who believe Oneleet is the best thing since sliced bread, because we are. You will go against the grain, press buttons, and say the things nobody else has the guts to say, backed by real arguments because being right is the whole point.

This is not a "schedule posts and report on impressions" role. You create content that provokes. You show up where our buyers hang out and become the voice they actually want to hear. You build a cult following from nothing.

You will thrive here if you have already built your own audience, 100,000+ followers that you grew yourself because you could not stop creating. You have made people angry, made people think, and made people follow you because they could not look away.

What You Will Do

  • Write and publish high-volume content that makes Oneleet the sharpest voice in security and compliance. Not louder for the sake of it, louder because we are right.

  • Turn internal knowledge into content that hits different. The kind people screenshot and send to their group chats.

  • Build a cult following of founders, CTOs, and security leaders from the ground up. These people should feel like they are part of something.

  • Show up in every community where our buyers spend time. Not as a marketer, as the person everyone actually wants to hear from.

  • Ghostwrite for founders and experts. Take their raw ideas and make them go viral.

  • Own the brand voice. When people read our content, they should know it is us before they see the logo.

  • Challenge industry narratives. Call out the broken way things have been done. Say what everyone is thinking but nobody is saying.

  • Run experiments constantly. Kill what does not work, double down on what does.

Who We Are Looking For

1-4 years of experience in content, community, or growth marketing, but we care more about what you have built than how long you have been at it.

  • Exceptional writing skills with a portfolio that proves it. We will ask to see your work, and it better make us stop scrolling.

  • You have built a personal audience of 100,000+ followers. You know what it takes to earn attention from scratch.

  • You can write for both technical and business audiences without losing either.

  • You are community-native. You know the difference between adding value and being annoying, and between adding value and being boring.

  • You have a rebellious streak. You do not accept "that is how the industry works" as an answer.

  • Self-starter who thrives without a playbook. This role has no predecessor. You will build it yourself.

  • Bias toward action. You would rather publish something bold today and learn from the reaction than wait for perfect.

  • Comfortable working remotely, CET to EST time zones.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience in B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, or compliance

  • A personal brand that makes us jealous

  • Experience with SEO, content analytics, or growth experimentation

  • You have built a content or community function from zero at a startup

  • Comfortable using AI tools to move faster

What Separates Great from Good

A good content hire can write clean copy and manage a social account. We are not hiring good.

We want the person who sees a trending conversation and has a scorching take ready before anyone asks. The person who built something from nothing, took a blank slate and turned it into an audience that hangs on their words. The person who publishes every day, learns from what works, and does not need permission to have an opinion.

If you have ever been told you are "too much" online, you might be exactly who we are looking for.

How to Apply

Skip the generic cover letter. Send us:

1. 2 to 3 pieces of content you are proud of. If it did not get real engagement, do not send it.

2. A short note (under 200 words) on how you would build a content engine and cult following from scratch for Oneleet.

3. Links to your profiles and communities where you are active. Show us the audience you have built.

If your content is fire, we will move fast.

Why Oneleet?

At Oneleet, you’ll join a tight-knit team of rebels redefining the cybersecurity industry. We move fast, own our work, and challenge outdated models to make security effortless and effective for companies.

Here’s what makes us special:

  • We value impact over titles, autonomy over micromanagement, and clarity over jargon.

  • You’ll tackle meaningful, hard problems with real-world consequences.

  • You’ll work with smart, kind, and ambitious teammates who lift each other up.


Perks & Benefits

  • Comprehensive health & welless benefits

  • Competitive comp & equity

  • Generous PTO, including floating holidays to honor what matters most to you

  • Flexible, remote work culture

  • Quarterly off-sites to cool places (Amsterdam, Italy, etc).
