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.

Medical Operations - UK

Tandem Health · London

Build something monumental for Healthcare!

At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care.

We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you!

We’ve partnered with Accurx, one of the UK’s leading healthcare communication platforms, to roll out our ambient scribe technology to over 200,000 NHS clinicians. Together, we’re transforming how clinical documentation is done — automatically generating high-quality notes in real time so doctors can spend less time on admin and more time with patients. With a pipeline of over 50 pilots across NHS Acute and Community Mental Health Trusts, we’re driving adoption at scale and reshaping the clinician experience across the NHS.

About the Role

You’ll join Tandem’s Medical Operations team and help bring our AI Medical Assistant into real clinical settings across the UK. This is an entry-level, high-impact role built for someone with a clinical background (for example: junior doctor, physician associate, experienced nurse, allied health professional, or recent medical graduate) who wants hands-on experience with product implementation, customer-facing work, and AI in healthcare.

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of deploying Accurx Scribe, powered by Tandem, across secondary care settings. This means leading the full rollout process — from engaging clinicians and delivering training to refining templates and optimising prompts for better accuracy. You’ll also collect product feedback directly from users and work closely with our engineers to continuously improve the product.

What You Will Do

  • Lead deployments: take full ownership of rolling out Accurx Scribe, powered by Tandem, across NHS sites nationwide — from clinician onboarding to successful go-lives.

  • Travel extensively: this role involves frequent travel to hospital sites across the UK to support deployments and work directly with clinicians. At times, you may spend extended periods on-site to ensure smooth rollouts. There will also be occasional trips to Stockholm to collaborate with the wider team.

  • Be on the frontline: run training sessions, shadow clinicians, and provide hands-on support to ensure seamless adoption.

  • Drive impact with data: collect usage insights and outcomes to measure effectiveness and demonstrate ROI to NHS stakeholders.

  • Shape the product: refine templates, optimise AI prompts, and feed back user insights directly to our engineers to continuously improve Tandem.

  • Champion our users: build strong relationships with clinicians, develop champions within Trusts, and showcase success stories through compelling case studies.

  • Support growth: assist with live demos, represent Tandem at events, and join commercial conversations alongside senior colleagues.


What You Bring

  • Clinically trained: recently qualified or early career clinicians (e.g., FY1/FY2 doctors).

  • A passion for technology, AI, and its potential to transform healthcare.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills - comfortable working with clinicians, engineers, and commercial teams.

  • Strong organisational skills and a process-driven mindset.

  • Keen to learn and iterate: you’ll receive mentorship, but we want people who have a strong sense of initiative and ownership.

  • Willingness to work flexibly, travel to customer sites frequently, and step up during critical moments.

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with prompting and large language models (LLMs).

  • Experience or interest in developing simple templates or documentation for clinicians.

  • Exposure to regulatory standards in the UK or EU (e.g. clinical safety, digital health compliance).

  • Experience running implementation projects or customer-facing rollouts.
