Is Jobscan’s algorithm based off of real Applicant Tracking Systems?
Edited
Yes, Jobscan’s algorithm is built around the core functionalities of real Applicant Tracking Systems. With over 300 ATS vendors in the market, we've studied and identified the key features shared by the most widely used systems—especially those used by Fortune 500 companies, including Taleo, iCIMS, Jobvite, and others.
Our algorithm replicates how these systems evaluate resumes, focusing on critical elements such as:
Keyword presence
Keyword frequency and density
Exact-match keywords
Resume content parsing
Match scoring
We continuously refine our algorithm to stay aligned with evolving ATS behaviors, ensuring you get the most accurate and actionable scan results.
