Research Data Dashboard
Transparent data from our job-listing corpus snapshot and resume analysis research. The page explains what the snapshot contains, how it powers ResumeGeni guidance, and which limits readers should keep in mind.

Job Listing Corpus
ResumeGeni uses a dated job-listing corpus snapshot to study how employers describe roles, skills, tools, certifications, and resume evidence. The snapshot supports the keyword benchmark pages, the ATS compatibility methodology, and the examples candidates see in role-specific resume guidance.
What This Snapshot Is For
Resume keyword research
We compare recurring job-description language by role and industry so resume guidance can use the same vocabulary employers use in postings.
ATS compatibility guidance
The corpus helps separate durable ATS-readability advice from unsupported claims about any single vendor's private screening logic.
Example quality control
Resume bullets are reviewed against role evidence so examples stay specific, measurable, and aligned with real hiring language.
This is not a live job-board index, a complete labor-market census, or a guarantee that a specific ATS will rank a resume in a specific way. It is a transparent research base for ResumeGeni's public methodology and candidate-facing tools.
Dataset Fields
The snapshot stores normalized fields that are useful for resume research while avoiding publication of raw employer job descriptions on this page.
| Field | How ResumeGeni uses it |
|---|---|
| Job title and normalized role | Groups similar postings so resume examples and keyword advice match the candidate's target role. |
| Company and ATS source | Shows where a posting came from and helps spot format differences across career sites and ATS platforms. |
| Location and workplace signal | Supports remote, hybrid, onsite, state, and metro comparisons without treating the snapshot as a live job count. |
| Keyword and skill phrases | Feeds keyword benchmark pages and helps distinguish single tools from compound phrases such as cloud migration or patient triage. |
How Candidates Should Read the Dashboard
Treat the dashboard as a source map for ResumeGeni guidance, not as a list of phrases to paste into a resume. A useful resume edit still starts with the exact job posting, your real work history, and the role guide that matches your target title. The corpus helps explain why certain sections, skills, and proof points appear repeatedly across ResumeGeni pages.
The strongest use case is prioritization. If several postings in a target role emphasize the same software, credential, workflow, customer segment, patient setting, or compliance context, that signal can help decide which evidence belongs near the top of a resume. If a phrase appears in the corpus but does not match your actual experience, do not add it. Keyword alignment only helps when it describes work you can defend in an interview, assessment, or recruiter screen.
The dashboard also explains why ResumeGeni separates research pages from application tools. The keyword benchmarks describe recurring language patterns, the ATS methodology explains parser-readiness checks, and the ATS resume checker applies those checks to an individual resume. The dashboard is the evidence layer behind those surfaces, so readers can see which guidance comes from corpus patterns, which guidance comes from resume parsing methodology, and which decisions still require a human review of the target posting.

Resume Example Pool
Our curated pool of 1,275 resume bullet points, extracted from real job descriptions and categorized by industry. Used to generate role-specific resume examples.
Bullet Types
Achievement bullets are used as the preferred pattern because they show scope and outcome. Responsibility and skill-demonstration bullets remain useful when a candidate is early-career, changing fields, or documenting technical depth that cannot be reduced to one metric.

ATS Compatibility Scoring
Our ATS Compatibility Index evaluates resumes on a 100-point scale across four categories:
The score is a prioritization tool, not a vendor certification. It checks the parts ResumeGeni can evaluate reliably: parse-friendly structure, required resume sections, contact information, and whether the resume includes role-relevant language from the target job description.
