1. Why Checking Your ATS Score Before Applying is Critical

The average corporate job posting receives over 250 applications. Corporate ATS filters automatically rank and sort these candidates based on keyword relevance and formatting compliance. If your score falls below 75%, your application is pushed to the bottom of the recruiter's candidate queue.

2. How Vaylo AI Calculates Your ATS Score

Vaylo AI uses a transparent 100-Point Deterministic Rubric divided into five objective categories: Hard Keyword Match (30 pts), Impact Action Verbs (25 pts), Quantified Metrics (20 pts), Structural Parseability (15 pts), and Anti-Keyword-Stuffing Context (10 pts).
