ATSReady surfaces stored ATS and match scores on job rows and in job detail. They are not the same reading as the extension fit score.

What the jobs list shows

Each row on the job rail can carry two readings, shown as a percentage on a labelled chip:

  • one labelled ATS,
  • one labelled Match,
  • or both.

A row shows only the readings that exist. If a job has multiple linked resumes, the row shows the highest available ATS score and the highest available match score. Tailored resumes explains how a resume gets linked to a job in the first place.

Score bands used for color

The job-row score color helper uses three bands:

  • 80 and above,
  • 60 to 79,
  • below 60.

Where the same scores are explained

The Analysis section of the job detail pane is where those numbers are broken down rather than just displayed. It opens with a reading of how far the job sits from your own record, and carries ATS Score, Job Match, and Top Recommendations below it.

The Analysis section of a saved job, showing what the job was read against and the readings drawn from it.
Analysis explains a job rather than only scoring it. The reading at the top is worked out against your own history and needs no tailored resume, which is why it can appear before any score does.

Open it from the section menu in the detail pane header. See job details sections.

What this page does not cover

The Chrome extension’s fit score is a separate preference-based heuristic. It is not the same as the ATS or match scores stored on job-linked resumes, and the two are not comparable numbers.
