Why it matters
What an ATS is — and why it decides whether you get read
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is the software employers use to collect, scan, and rank resumes before a recruiter sees them. Roughly 99% of Fortune 500 companies and a fast-growing share of small businesses use one. When you apply online, your resume almost always meets a machine first.
The ATS parses your resume into structured fields — name, contact, experience, skills, education — then matches it against the job description. If it can't read a section, that section effectively doesn't exist. Multi-column layouts, tables, text inside images, headers/footers, and non-standard headings are the usual culprits that quietly sink strong candidates.
Every Ruubu template is built to parse cleanly: a single column, standard section headings, real selectable text, and no graphics that confuse the parser. You write the content; we make sure the machine — and then the human — can actually read it.
Parsed
The ATS extracts your text into fields. Clean structure = clean parse.
Ranked
Your resume is scored on keyword and skill overlap with the posting.
Surfaced
Top-ranked resumes reach a recruiter; the rest are rarely opened.
Read
A clean, quantified resume then earns the human yes.

Writing guide
What to put in every section
A great resume is more than a template. Here's exactly what each section should say to get past the ATS and win the recruiter.
Professional summary
Two to three sentences naming your role, years of experience, and your single biggest, quantified win. This is the first thing a recruiter reads — make it unmistakably about the job you want.
Work experience
Reverse-chronological, with 2–4 bullets per role. Open each bullet with a strong verb and close it with a number — revenue, percentage, time saved, or scale handled. Show impact, not duties.
Skills
List the exact hard skills and tools the posting names, plus the ones you'd be comfortable being interviewed on. Keep it scannable; skip soft-skill clichés that every applicant claims.
Education & certifications
Degree, school, and graduation year — plus any certifications that map to the role. Recent grads can lead with education; experienced applicants keep it short and let experience carry the weight.
Resume tips
Eight rules that get interviews
Lead every bullet with a result, then the action — numbers earn a second look.
Quantify wherever you honestly can: %, $, time saved, and scale beat adjectives.
Mirror the job description's exact skill and tool names so the ATS scores the overlap.
Keep it to one page under ten years of experience; cut anything that isn't an outcome.
Use a single column with standard headings — no tables, text boxes, or graphics.
Save and send as PDF unless the posting explicitly asks for DOCX.
Tailor the top third (headline, summary, first role) to the specific job.
Proofread out loud — one typo can cost you the interview.

Real outcomes
People who got the interview, and the offer.
“I went from zero callbacks to four interviews in two weeks. The section-by-section fixes showed me exactly why recruiters were skipping my profile.”
Maya Adeyemi
Product Manager · Stripe
“My old resume kept getting filtered out. The ATS-safe rewrite passed every screener and landed me an offer 19% above my last salary.”
Daniel Cho
Backend Engineer · Spotify
“The profile score was brutally honest, and right. I fixed the three things it flagged and a recruiter reached out within the week.”
Priya Nair
Data Analyst · JP Morgan
“Job matching saved me hours. Instead of scrolling boards, I applied to five roles that actually fit and got two interviews.”
Lucas Moreau
UX Designer · Microsoft
“The resume finally sounded like me, not a template. I tailored it per role in one click and signed an offer a month later.”
Sofia Rossi
Marketing Lead · Google
“I'd been job hunting for three months with no luck. After the rewrite I had two onsite loops booked in ten days.”
