What problem does it solve?
It helps you tailor a resume PDF to a specific job description by performing ATS-focused gap analysis and applying minimal, layout-preserving improvements so your content and keyword coverage better match what recruiters’ systems parse.
Core Features & Use Cases
- ATS scorecard (0–100): Produces a heuristic compatibility score broken into keyword coverage, experience evidence alignment, skills alignment, and parse safety.
- Gap analysis: Identifies missing exact JD keywords, weak or unsupported evidence in experience bullets, and section-level parsing/formatting risks.
- Minimal edit planning + PDF update: Generates a prioritized edit plan and produces an updated PDF using layout-preserving methods (text patching first, overlay fallback, DOCX fallback only when appropriate).
- Verification-oriented output: Reports baseline vs updated score, edited areas/lines, and integrity checks like page count and parseability.
Use this when you want to improve ATS compatibility, find missing JD terms, or update a resume PDF without changing its typography or overall structure.
