How your ATS score is calculated

Transparent rules decide the number — the same resume and job always get the same score, and every check shows the points it's worth. AI is used only to read the posting's keywords and suggest wording.

Searchability (7)

Check while you apply

Every job on Connecting Odds has a "Check my ATS score first" link next to Apply — it loads the job and your profile resume for you. Browse jobs.

Tuned to the employer's system

When a job applies through Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo or SmartRecruiters you get tips for that system.

Honest by design

We never add employers, dates, degrees, skills or numbers you don't have. Risky suggestions are flagged "only apply if true".
