Grader FAQ & ATS Mechanics

Will a Canva PDF resume break the ATS?

Yes, in many cases. Canva exports text layers placed on complex graphic layouts. When parsed by Greenhouse or Workday, the text is extracted out-of-order, leading to scrambled sentences and missing experience. Use Jobloo's Resume Grader to test your Canva CV's readability.

How can I check if my resume is ATS compatible?

Use the Plain Text Test: copy all text from your PDF and paste it into Notepad. If the text is scrambled or columns interleave, it is broken. Alternatively, upload it to the Jobloo Resume Grader to instantly see what recruiters see on Ashby, Lever, Greenhouse, and Workday.

Why is my PDF resume showing up blank in Greenhouse?

This usually happens when your resume is saved as a scanned image PDF rather than an interactive document containing selectable text layers. The Jobloo Resume Grader will instantly scan your file to check if it contains a readable text layer.

How does Workday parse two-column resumes?

Workday's parser relies on horizontal line tracking and NLP sequence analysis. If the divider gutter between columns is narrow (under 30 points) or lacks vector separation, Workday reads from left-to-right across columns. This merges your sidebar (skills list) directly into your experience sentences.

Is my LaTeX CV ATS-compatible?

Yes, but it depends on your package configuration. LaTeX generates clean vector structures, but packages like moderncv or custom templates can introduce non-standard character encoding, making the text layer unreadable to extractors. Test your LaTeX CV to ensure characters render correctly.

What is a good ATS score for a CV?

A good ATS score is generally 80/100 or higher. This indicates that your CV has no critical layout issues (such as columns merging or font corruption), contains strong action verbs, includes quantified achievements, and maps clearly to standard section headers.
