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.

Nurse Practitioner - Virtual Care

Phoenix · Edmonton, Alberta

About Phoenix


Founded in 2019, Phoenix is building the most trusted telehealth platform in Canada, making specialist healthcare accessible to every Canadian, wherever they are. Our platform breaks down barriers to care, empowering patients to take control of their health with personalized treatment options and the guidance of licensed providers.

If you thrive where big ideas turn into real impact, you'll fit right in here. We're a team of creative problem-solvers who move deliberately and collaborate in person, because we think the best work happens that way. At Phoenix, you'll find autonomy over your work, people who care about each other's success, and a mission that's making healthcare better for Canadians.

We are Phoenix, a mission-driven digital healthcare platform for Canadians. We are looking for a remote Nurse Practitioner to join the team. We’re setting the bar for asynchronous telemedicine to deliver a better experience for both patients and healthcare providers.

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver Virtual Care with Impact: Review patient-submitted medical histories through our intelligent, graded online platform and determine candidacy for treatment. Most consultations take under 5 minutes to complete.

  • Support and Prescribe: If appropriate, issue prescriptions. If more information is needed, communicate directly with patients via our secure messaging platform.

  • Collaborate Onsite with a Multidisciplinary Team: You’ll play a pivotal role in helping refine clinical workflows, ensuring we’re delivering seamless, high-quality care at scale.

  • Improve Patient & Provider Experience: Work closely with our Customer Experience, Product, and Engineering teams to identify friction points and co-design solutions that elevate healthcare delivery.

  • Lend Your Clinical Expertise to Innovation: Contribute to new product launches and protocols as Phoenix expands into new conditions and offerings.

What We Treat Today

Our current focus includes health conditions such as:

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Hair loss

  • Weight loss

  • Premature ejaculation

  • Testosterone therapy

Who You Are

  • Registered with the Nurse Practitioners Associate of Alberta and eligible for licensure in other Canadian provinces. Phoenix is open to supporting the licensing process in additional provinces if needed.

  • Technologically savvy with experience or comfort in digital care platforms.

  • Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

  • Able to respond to patient needs in a timely and empathetic manner.

  • Passionate about improving the Canadian healthcare landscape.

  • Curious, innovative, and excited to work cross-functionally with non-clinical teams.

  • Previous experience in men’s health is a plus, but not required.

Why this opportunity is exciting

  • Flexible Clinical Work: Patients are privately billed, no insurance paperwork or complex billing systems. The asynchronous nature of our platform means no live appointments with patients via video or phone call.

  • Seamless Technology: Our asynchronous platform was built by engineers who deeply understand provider pain points. It’s designed to support, not slow you down.

  • Innovate at the Frontlines: Your clinical voice will directly inform how we build, improve, and expand our services.

  • No Additional Coverage Needed: You’re already covered through your existing CMPA or equivalent malpractice coverage.

Why Work at Phoenix?

  • A Rewarding Mission: Through our asynchronous care model, Phoenix is reimagining patient-centric care for Canadians across the country by making diagnoses and treatment delivery faster, more accessible, and completely discreet.

  • Impact & Autonomy: You’ll work directly with passionate, experienced leaders who’ve seen the ups and downs of building a business and genuinely care about your growth. You won’t just execute — you’ll help shape the future of Phoenix and Raven.

  • Collaborative In-Office Culture: Based in the heart of downtown Toronto, our HQ team comes together on-site five days a week to build fast and push what’s possible. We love the fast feedback loops, spontaneous brainstorms, and actually knowing the people we work with. Bonus points if you’re into the occasional foosball tournament or have strong opinions about the best lunch spot in the neighbourhood.

  • Competitive Pay, Real Benefits: Our compensation bands are backed by real market data, so offers are competitive and fair. Our benefits package includes standard healthcare coverage, a remote-first holiday season, and holistic wellbeing support — such as a wellbeing allowance and flexible additional time off to care for loved ones, support mental health, observe meaningful religious and cultural holidays, or when life just happens.
