75% of resumes never make it past ATS filters. ATS filters are rules and criteria used by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes and identify qualified candidates. These systems scan resumes for specific keywords, skills, job titles, and other qualifications mentioned in the job description. ATS filters help recruiters narrow down the applicant pool by automatically rejecting resumes that don't meet the specified criteria, ensuring that only the most relevant candidates are considered for further review.
Recruiters spend 6–8 seconds on initial scans, so your resume needs to grab attention instantly. In that tiny window, they’re looking for clear alignment with the job description, relevant skills in the right places, and a format that makes your value obvious at a glance. If your most important qualifications aren’t front-loaded and easy to find, you’re passed over — even if you’re the perfect candidate.
Generic resumes look generic, and employers notice immediately. When hiring managers see the same vague phrases, recycled job descriptions, and cookie-cutter formats, they can tell you haven’t tailored your application to the role. That signals a lack of effort — and often leads to instant rejection. Resume Cure eliminates the guesswork by aligning your resume precisely to the job description, inserting the right keywords, and highlighting the most relevant achievements so employers instantly recognize you as a candidate who understands what they need.
