Question 1

What is an ATS score and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the tools that sort applications before a human recruiter ever reads your resume — among them Workday, Greenhouse, Taleo, SmartRecruiters and Lever. A poorly structured resume (multi-column layouts, icons, tables, non-standard fonts) can be misread by these systems, or dropped entirely, even when you are perfectly qualified for the role. Passmatch measures this risk by simulating a real re-parsing of your document, exactly the way an ATS would, instead of showing a rough estimate. You get a verifiable before/after score: you see precisely what is extracted, what is lost and why, and where each section actually lands. You then get a corrected Master resume so your information survives automated filtering and reaches the recruiter who decides whether to call you back.

Question 2

Does Passmatch invent experience to improve my resume?

Accepted Answer

Never. Passmatch applies a zero-hallucination guarantee: it only optimizes presentation, structure and keyword choice from the real facts you provide — experience, employers, dates, degrees, figures. Nothing is added, extrapolated or embellished beyond what you actually supplied. Every generated document is automatically checked to ensure no new fact — job title, employer, date, degree or figure — appears without having existed in your source resume or been validated by you. If information is missing that would strengthen an application, Passmatch prompts you to add it yourself rather than guessing on your behalf. This guarantee sits at the heart of the product: it sets Passmatch apart from resume generators that embellish freely, and it means you can defend every single line of your resume in an interview.

Question 3

What is the Master resume?

Accepted Answer

The Master resume is an ATS-optimized resume generated once from your source resume (PDF or DOCX import). It becomes your single source of truth: every new application automatically derives a resume tailored to the target offer, with keywords adjusted from your real facts and your most relevant experience surfaced, plus a targeted cover letter. This "one parse, N applications" model spares you from rebuilding a resume every time: what used to take hours of manual rewriting now takes seconds, while the zero-invention guarantee keeps every version factually consistent with the source. The Master resume stays editable and versioned, so you keep control — and because content and layout are kept separate, switching theme never changes a single fact on the page.

Question 4

Is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The application and your data are hosted in the European Union (OVH SAS), with GDPR-by-design compliance: limited retention, self-service data export and self-service account deletion at any time. Passmatch is published by Nesma Consulting, a SAS registered with the Paris trade register under number 921 349 163, whose full legal identity and contact details appear on the Legal Notice page. No data from your resume is used for anything other than generating the documents you request: no resale, no advertising profiling, no training models on your content. You remain the owner of your information — you can export it whenever you want and delete it permanently in one click, without having to contact us or wait for any approval.

Question 5

Does Passmatch work in English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Passmatch is available in French and English from its very first version, for both the interface and the generated documents — Master resume, per-offer tailored resumes and cover letters. You can switch language at any time from the interface, and the generated content (structure, wording, vocabulary) is adapted to the chosen language rather than translated word for word. The result reads naturally to a French- or English-speaking recruiter alike. You can therefore run a bilingual job search from a single Master resume: apply in French in France and in English internationally, with the same standard of quality and the same fidelity to the facts, without rebuilding your resume or re-translating your experience by hand for each market you target.
