Question 1

Is my resume uploaded to a remote server or stored in a database?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike traditional ATS resume checkers that upload your resume and contact information to third-party cloud servers, ATS Scroll executes 100% locally in your browser using client-side Web Workers. Your personal details, phone numbers, and employment history never leave your computer.

Question 2

Which applicant tracking systems (ATS) are evaluated?

Accepted Answer

ATS Scroll evaluates your resume against the parsing behaviors of Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, specifically checking for multi-column text scrambling, missing standard section headers, and unparsed contact blocks.

Question 3

Why do ATS parsers reject two-column or graphic resumes?

Accepted Answer

Legacy enterprise parsers (particularly Workday and Taleo) read text layers horizontally across the entire page width. When a resume has two columns, the parser reads across the column divide, mixing job titles from the left column with dates or descriptions from the right column.

Question 4

What is the Google X-Y-Z formula for resume bullet points?

Accepted Answer

The Google X-Y-Z formula states: 'Accomplished [X], as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]'. Example: 'Reduced API response latency from 450ms to 85ms (81% decrease) by introducing Redis caching and SQL indexing.' ATS scoring algorithms reward high density of quantifiable numbers and engineering action verbs.
