I wonder if there's an open(-source) ATS system out there against which we might test such simpler templates?

- Dansvidania 2y agoI would try with https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser they offer the option to parse your cv and see what "comes out on the other side" I am not sure whether the idea of the parser is to be a starting point to then use the editor, or a test.
- __turbobrew__ 2y agoOpenresume really butchers mine despite using a pretty standard latex template. I wonder if my resume is really that bad?
- bangaladore 2y agoIt parses "Jake's Resume" well https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjb...
- doix 2y agoI wonder what the origin of that template is, because it looks almost identical to mine, and I yoinked my template from somewhere back in 2012-2013. It says it's based on sb2nov/resume [0], but that only goes back to 2017. They must've based it on something as well. [0] https://github.com/sb2nov/resume/ https://github.com/sb2nov/resume/
- Aurornis 2y agoIt would be useless to test against a system that companies weren't using. I wouldn't count on anything open source in the HR space, to be honest. I remember seeing a list of companies you could "apply" to with your resume that would then show the ATS-parsed version back to you. Every single person who used it got a reasonable result back, which is usually enough to put an end to all of the ATS myths out there.
- pdimitar 2y agoYep, you are quite right. Curious about that list of companies, if you are keeping it?
