How ATS Clarity evaluates a match

1. Requirement detection

The job description is reviewed line by line for requirement language, including required skills, qualifications, education, certifications, licenses, and years of experience.

2. Evidence matching

• Experience: years must be connected to the relevant type of work.
• Education: equivalent abbreviations and higher degree levels are recognized while the field of study is still checked.
• Certifications: experience with a technology does not count as holding its certification.
• Licenses: the requested license must be stated clearly; a standard driver's license does not satisfy a CDL requirement.
• Skills: meaningful words and common variations are compared with the resume.

3. Scores

The requirement score measures how many detected requirements have clear evidence. Keyword coverage measures important language shared by the job description and resume. The overall score gives requirements more weight than keyword repetition.

4. Suggestions

Missing evidence becomes an improvement suggestion. ATS Clarity asks you to add information only when it is true and specifically warns against inflating credentials or years of experience.

Important limitation

Hiring decisions depend on context, people, and systems that this tool cannot see. Treat the analysis as a structured second opinion, not a guarantee or an official ATS result.
