What is an ATS and why does my resume need to pass it?

An Applicant Tracking System parses resumes into a database before recruiters review them. If your resume uses complex tables or images, the ATS may read it incorrectly. The ATS checker scores your resume and highlights exactly what to fix.

What ATS score should I aim for?

A score in the 80s or above means your resume is structured so the ATS can read it cleanly. Beyond the number, make sure your job titles, dates, and skills use the same keywords as the job description.

How do I build a resume from scratch?

Use the resume builder: enter your details section by section and download an ATS-friendly PDF. Keep it to one to two pages, use a standard layout, and quantify your achievements with numbers wherever possible.

How is take-home salary different from CTC?

CTC includes your basic pay plus allowances, EPF, gratuity, insurance, and other components. Your take-home is what actually reaches your bank after deductions. The salary calculator shows you both, so you know what an offer really means.

How is my notice period calculated?

Enter your joining and last working days into the notice period calculator, and it gives you the exact number of days plus your countable experience, which helps when you negotiate relief letters and salary settlements.
