Welcome to the ResumeChkr Blog

We built ResumeChkr to answer one question honestly: will this resume make it past the software standing between you and a human recruiter? Along the way we kept running into the same problem — most advice about applicant tracking systems online is either outdated, vendor marketing, or just wrong.

This blog is where we'll share what we actually find: employment market trends, hiring and layoff news worth knowing about, and deeper dives into how specific ATS platforms parse and rank resumes, sourced from those platforms' own documentation rather than speculation.

New posts go up here as we publish them. If there's a specific ATS platform, hiring trend, or job-search topic you want covered, let us know.
