Individual skill

ats-detector

Work out which applicant tracking system a job uses from its application link, and give the formatting rules that system parses safely. Use when asked which ATS does this company use, will my CV get through the ATS, is my CV ATS friendly, or how should I format for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or Taleo. Produces the detected system with the evidence, a parsing-safe formatting checklist, the file type to upload, and a check of a supplied CV against the rules.

# ATS Detector

An applicant tracking system reads the CV before a person does. Each one parses differently, and the cheapest way to fail is a layout the parser scrambles: two columns, a table, a header image, contact details in a text box. This skill identifies the system from the application link and checks the CV against what that system needs.

Part of the pm-cv bundle. Used by `company-tailored-cv`.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The detected system**, with the evidence (the address pattern) and a confidence level
- **A formatting checklist** for that system
- **The file type** to upload
- **A CV check**: each rule marked pass or fail against a supplied CV, with the fix
