When you apply, Lever's resume parser pulls readable information from your resume, such as your name, contact details, and the organizations you worked for, into your candidate profile. Recruiters can then search their whole Lever database by keyword, and Lever says that search looks at candidate names and any parseable content on a profile, including resumes, notes, and feedback forms.
Some employers also turn on Talent Fit, Lever's AI feature that compares your resume with the job description and gives a yes or no decision on whether you are a fit, with the reasons. Lever says Talent Fit is off unless the employer turns it on, uses only the job description and your resume, and is not intended to filter candidates out. Either way, two things matter: that Lever can read your file, and that your resume uses the words the job asks for.
Lever's advanced search lets recruiters find candidates with keywords and fields such as years of experience, company, title, and education. Lever says the job titles, companies, and schools in those filters are parsed from your resume, and that years of experience are calculated from the dates it parses there. Location counts too: Lever parses your location from your resume into a standard place name, and warns that a regional name such as New York Metropolitan Area can be matched to the wrong place. A keyword search can only find words that are on your profile, so name your titles, tools, and skills plainly, give every job clear dates, and write your location as a city rather than a region.
Lever says it can parse Word, PDF, RTF, and several other document formats, but not image files such as JPG or PNG. Its help center suggests a simple test: if you cannot highlight the text in your file with your cursor, the file is likely not parseable. Lever's help center does not say whether its search links an abbreviation to the full term, so do not leave it to chance. Write the full term with the short form beside it, for example Search Engine Optimization (SEO), so a search for either one has the words to find. Do this for every acronym that matters in your field.
Lever's help center describes the Lever-hosted job site as jobs.lever.co followed by the company's name, so a posting at a jobs.lever.co address is on Lever. The free ATSAlign Chrome extension shows your match score right on Lever job pages at jobs.lever.co.
The checker above does the keyword work. Paste the Lever job description and upload your resume: the free check shows your match score and the first 2 must-have keywords you are missing, and ATSAlign Pro shows the full list. It cannot see how Lever's search or Talent Fit will treat your resume.
ATSAlign is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Lever, Inc., and Lever is a trademark of its owner. The checker compares your resume with a job description you paste. It cannot see inside any employer's Lever account.
Once you have your ATS score, ATSAlign Pro can rewrite your resume bullet points to match the job description, adding the missing keywords you choose and aligning your language to the posting without inventing experience. A DOCX resume keeps its own formatting; a PDF resume is rebuilt in a new, clean layout. No manual editing required.

Yes. Your first check each day needs no account or card: guests get 1 free check a day, and a free account gets 2. Paste the Lever job description and upload your resume to see your match score and the first 2 must-have keywords you are missing. The full keyword list and AI rewrites come with ATSAlign Pro, a one-time pass that never renews.
It can, if the employer turns it on. Lever has an AI feature called Talent Fit that compares your resume with the job description and gives a yes or no decision on fit, with an explanation for the recruiter. Lever says employers must turn Talent Fit on, that it is off by default for new jobs, that it uses only the job description and your resume, and that it is not intended to filter candidates out. Recruiters can also search the profile Lever builds from your resume by keyword.
It can, if the employer sets that up. Lever's help center says employers can build automation that archives candidates who meet certain conditions, and that this is commonly used with knockout questions on the application form. So answer every application question carefully and truthfully. Lever describes Talent Fit, its AI fit check, as not intended to filter candidates out.
Lever's help center does not say. Its search articles cover keyword searches, Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), and field searches such as title and company, but say nothing about abbreviations or word forms. So write the full term with the short form beside it, for example Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and a search for either one has the words to find.
No. ATSAlign is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Lever, Inc. Lever is a trademark of its owner. The checker compares your resume with the job description you paste, and the free Chrome extension reads the public job posting on jobs.lever.co pages. Neither can see inside an employer's Lever account.
Yes, the check is free. Your first check needs no account: guests get 1 free check a day, and a free account gets 2. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites of your bullet points come with ATSAlign Pro, a one-time pass that never renews.
There is no official cutoff, because every employer sets up its ATS differently. On ATSAlign's own scale, 80% or higher means your resume covers most of the posting's key terms, and below 60% means many must-have terms are missing. Aim to add the missing terms that truly fit your experience, in the posting's own words.
ATSAlign works from the job description you paste, so you can use it for any job, whatever system the employer uses. It does not connect to any employer's ATS, and no outside checker can see how an employer has set up its system, so the score is ATSAlign's own estimate of how well your resume matches the job. ATSAlign is independent and is not affiliated with any ATS vendor.
Use the file type the employer's application form asks for. Each system documents different things: Workday HiredScore supports DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT resumes, Greenhouse Recruiting can't parse resumes larger than 2.5 MB, and for federal jobs USAJOBS recommends uploading a PDF to keep your formatting and page count. Workday also says resumes without images or image-based styles give the best parsing results. ATSAlign checks both PDF and DOCX, so you can test the exact file you plan to send.
Check every time you apply to a new role. A resume that matches one job description well can match another poorly, because each posting asks for different skills and terms. Recruiters often search and filter applications in their ATS, so using each posting's own words, where they truly fit your experience, helps your resume turn up in those searches.
Not for your first check. Guests get 1 free check a day with no account, and a free account gets 2 a day. Each free check shows your full match score and the first 2 missing must-have keywords. The full keyword list and AI rewrites come with ATSAlign Pro.
