The 5-Step Process
Step 1: You Upload Your Resume
Submit your existing resume in any standard format (PDF, DOCX). No redesign needed — the ATS Verification service works with whatever you already have.
Step 2: OCR + Parsing Extraction
Our system runs your resume through OCR analysis to simulate exactly what ATS software extracts when it processes your file. We capture text order, section headers, keywords, and critical contact fields.
Step 3: O*NET Occupation Matching
We match your job title against the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET database of 1,016+ occupations, identifying the SOC code and the skill set employers in your field expect to see.
Step 4: Skill Gap Analysis
Your extracted skills are compared against O*NET's required competencies for your target role. You receive a prioritized list of missing keywords and skills that top ATS systems rank by.
Step 5: Scored Report Delivery
You receive a full ATS compatibility scorecard (0–100) showing: keyword coverage, critical fields detected, parsing confidence per section, and specific recommendations to improve your score.
