Understand ATS before you apply
Applicant tracking systems filter resumes before a human ever sees them. PenIQ ATS Lab shows how your resume scores against a job description, which keywords you are missing, and whether formatting choices might hurt parsing.
For candidates
- ATS score checker — Overall fit score vs a posting.
- Keyword gaps — Matched vs missing terms recruiters search for.
- Job description match — Detailed overlap breakdown.
- Format check — Spot layout issues that confuse parsers.
- Template tips — Best practices for clean, parseable resumes.
For recruiters
Bulk screen applicants, rank candidates by job match, generate screening reports, and move qualified profiles into your hiring pipeline — without exporting CSVs between tools.
Pro tip
Paste the full job description, not just the title — keyword analysis needs context from responsibilities and requirements.
