4 key points

Key takeaways.

  1. 01

    Robots read first

    ATS software screens most résumés before a human does — fail it and you're invisible.

  2. 02

    Formatting kills

    Fancy templates, tables and graphics can break parsing and drop your résumé silently.

  3. 03

    Keywords decide

    If your wording doesn't match the job description, the system ranks you below people who do.

  4. 04

    Fixable in minutes

    An ATS-clean, keyword-matched résumé restores your visibility instantly.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Why does HR never reply?

Usually because an ATS filtered your résumé out before HR saw it — for formatting or missing keywords, not your qualifications.

Do design-heavy résumés hurt?

Often yes. Columns, tables and graphics can break ATS parsing, causing your résumé to be misread or discarded.

How does Jobbe fix it?

Its free ATS checker flags the issues, then tailors your résumé with the right keywords and clean formatting per role.
