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.

People Admin Manager

Vizzia · Paris

Context

Running a company well is a team effort. But behind every smooth onboarding, every well-tracked vendor contract, and every team event that goes without a hitch, there's someone who made it happen.

That's the role we're building.

Vizzia is growing fass. Our headcount is scaling with it. And the operational infrastructure that supports our teams — HR administration, office management, vendor relationships, financial tracking — needs a dedicated owner who takes pride in keeping things clean, structured, and running without friction.

Reporting to Laura Deffarge (VP People), you'll be the operational backbone of our Paris office. You'll own our relationships with key vendors (Patchwork, NowBrain for IT, Flease for our car fleet), keep our HR and payroll data accurate in Silae, and maintain tight financial tracking in Pennylane. You'll work hand-in-hand with People, Finance, and every employee who needs something fixed, ordered, or organized.

This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role for someone who finds satisfaction in making complexity disappear.

What You'll Do

1. HR Administration

  • Own payroll data entry and employee file maintenance across Silae, our HRIS and Google Drive

  • Coordinate onboarding logistics end-to-end: equipment setup, access provisioning and first-day welcome

  • Manage offboarding cleanly: equipment retrieval, account deactivation, administrative wrap-up

  • Be the go-to for employee requests related to IT, vehicles, and office needs

2. Financial Administration

  • Handle analytical cost allocation in Pennylane

  • Collect and process invoices, track pending payments, and follow up proactively on outstanding items

  • Maintain a clear, up-to-date view of operational spend across office, IT, and fleet budgets

  • Support Finance with ad hoc admin tasks as needed

3. Office Management & Vendor Relations

  • Manage relationships with our key vendors: Patchwork (office services), NowBrains (outsourced IT), and Flease (car fleet)

  • Track contracts, renewal deadlines, and operational budgets — before anyone has to chase them

  • Handle equipment orders, deliveries, IT asset inventory, and phone fleet management

  • Keep the office functioning and comfortable: a place people actually enjoy coming to

4. Team Life & Internal Operations

  • Coordinate internal communication on office topics, logistics, and upcoming events

  • Support the logistics and organization of quarterly company events (Vizzia Days)

  • Identify process improvements and flag inefficiencies early — before they become problems

  • Contribute, over time, to extending our operational model to the UK as we expand internationally

Who You Are

  • You have 2–4 years of experience in an administrative, office management, or operations support role — ideally in a startup or scale-up

  • Reliability isn't just a trait for you — it's a reflex: deadlines, details, and commitments are things you simply don't miss.

  • You're comfortable with IT coordination: managing a hardware inventory, working with an IT outsourcing partner

  • You're happy rolling up your sleeves for hands-on tasks: picking up a delivery, setting up a screen, chasing a vendor. That's part of the job, and you're genuinely fine with it

  • You handle HR and financial data with discretion — not because you're told to, but because it's obvious

  • You're Paris-based and comfortable being on-site most of the week — this is an in-person, operational role by nature

At Vizzia, we look for people who own their scope fully, communicate proactively, and make the people around them feel supported. If turning operational chaos into clean, documented process gives you energy — this is for you.
