If you’ve been applying to roles you know you’re qualified for and still getting silence or auto-rejections, this newsletter is for you.
Not because you need a better resume template.
Not because you need to apply more.
But because you’re sending your resume into systems that are grading you silently, using rules you’ve never been shown.
That’s where the AI ATS Audit comes in.
I posted a video on LinkedIn that shows you behind the scenes into what the Applicant Tracking System actually looks like, and how it uses Ai to assist with sorting and ranking candidates before the recrutier ever lays eyes on the applicant’s profile. Click Here to View.
That video also prompted me to create a master ATS Ai Audit Prompt. A link to the prompt can be found at the end of the article.
The Real Problem Job Seekers Don’t See
Most job seekers believe the hiring process looks like this:
Apply → Recruiter reads resume → Interview decision
In reality, it looks like this:
Apply → ATS grades resume → ATS ranks resume → Recruiter sees shortlist
By the time a recruiter is involved, most resumes are sorted to the bottom of the list.
Not because candidates weren’t capable. Because the system didn’t read them as aligned.
Why the AI Audit Prompt Matters
The AI Audit prompt I created forces your resume to be evaluated the same way recruiters see it inside the ATS, not the way you hope it’s read.
Instead of guessing:
“Is my resume ATS-friendly?”
“Am I missing keywords?”
“Why am I not getting interviews?”
You get:
a system-specific fit classification
a recruiter-style executive summary
a breakdown of required vs missing qualifications
real scoring percentages that mirror ATS logic
This removes emotion and replaces it with clarity.
Why Specifying the ATS Is Non-Negotiable
This is the part most people miss.
Not all ATS systems grade candidates the same way.
For example:
Workday heavily penalizes missing mandatory requirements and mismatched titles
Greenhouse allows more contextual and transferable alignment
Lever rewards trajectory and role adjacency
iCIMS emphasizes keyword density and requirement matching
Taleo is rigid and unforgiving
Running your resume through a generic “ATS checker” tells you nothing.
Running it through the exact ATS the company uses tells you everything.
That’s why the audit prompt requires you to select the ATS before analysis.
Click the below link to view a video of me running the prompt for two different ATS for the same role, and what the outcome was…. You’ll be suprised!
Why This Is a Solution, Not Another Tool
Most job search tools:
optimize blindly
offer generic advice
tell you to “add more keywords”
The AI Audit does something different. It answers one critical question:
“How is the system actually reading me for THIS role?”
Once you know that:
you stop guessing
you stop over-editing
you stop blaming yourself
You make intentional changes, not random ones.
How Job Seekers Should Use This Audit
This audit works best when you use it:
before applying to high-priority roles
when transitioning roles or industries
after repeated rejections
when targeting senior or specialized positions
It’s not about perfection. It’s about reducing risk so you’re not filtered out before the conversation starts.
The Job Father Truth
The ATS is not broken.
It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Your job isn’t to fight it.
Your job is to understand it.
That’s what this AI Audit gives you.
Follow the below link to get acess to the prompt.
You can either download the pdf, or copy and paste the information into the Ai agent you use (i.e. ChatGpt, Gemeni etc.).
Once you uplad the instructions into your Ai Agent, anytime you ask it (within that same conversation), “Run ATS Ai Audit” the system will ask you for the needed information and proceed to complete the task.
Want Help Interpreting the Results?
If you want help running this audit correctly, interpreting the results, or turning the findings into changes that actually convert to interviews, you can schedule a 1-on-1 consult with The Job Father.
I’ll help you make sense of what the system is telling you and what to do next.
