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

With Sitetracker’s customer base rapidly expanding, we’re seeing increased demand for scalable solution delivery using out-of-the-box features and declarative customization. The Senior Solution Engineer I plays a vital role in meeting this demand — helping us handle a growing project workload, increasing billable output, and ultimately contributing to top-line revenue growth.

This role offers the chance to work in a product-led company where your time is fully focused on feature development — no support work. You’ll have the autonomy to own projects end-to-end, working directly with customers to understand their business, design tailored solutions, and deliver tangible value. For high performers, it’s an opportunity to stretch your skills across analysis, consulting, and delivery — all within a collaborative team environment of Developers, Architects, and QAs.


What You’ll Do:

As a Senior Solution Engineer I, you’ll take full ownership of your projects, working hands-on with Sitetracker customers to understand their business needs and translate them into impactful solutions. Your role will involve managing your own workload, maintaining a strong utilization rate of 80%, and delivering high-quality, on-time outcomes that align with customer expectations and business goals.

You’ll build deep product expertise and use it to configure, develop, and deliver scalable solutions using Sitetracker’s out-of-the-box features. From discovery to deployment, you’ll lead the entire feature development lifecycle, ensuring that every solution you design not only meets technical requirements but also adds measurable value to the customer.

This role involves close collaboration with internal teams — including Developers, Architects, and QAs — allowing you to deepen your technical knowledge and broaden your understanding of implementation best practices. You’ll also be responsible for maintaining clear and proactive communication with customers, managing expectations, and ensuring that commitments are consistently met.

Success in this role will be measured not only by your technical capability but also by your ability to deliver quality work, follow best practices, and drive efficiency through smart time and project management. If you thrive in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment and enjoy solving real-world challenges with technology, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact.

Technical Aptitude
+ Designing and building Flows (e.g. screen flows, record-triggered flows, scheduled flows) Extensive use of advanced Flows, including subflows and complex automation scenarios.

+ Working with Custom Metadata Types (CMTs) for scalable and maintainable configurations
+ Managing and deploying Managed Packages
+ Building approval processes and validation rules, Using Data Loader for data imports and exports, Creating reports and dashboards, Writing complex SOQL queries involving relationships across multiple objects
+ Implementing configuration changes across standard and custom objects

Communication
+ Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
+ Proven experience working with internal stakeholders throughout the feature development lifecycle, from initial planning through to deployment.
+ Strong client-facing experience, including gathering requirements, presenting solution demos, and ensuring alignment throughout project delivery.

Salesforce Certification
+ Salesforce Certified Administrator

Work Management
+ Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, including handling 2–3 high-effort and 4–5 medium-effort projects simultaneously, or supporting 5–6 customers at a time.
