# ATSOptimized

> ATSOptimized is an AI resume optimizer for US job seekers. Upload a resume and a job description and it scores the resume the way an applicant tracking system (ATS) does, adds the job's relevant keywords where they truthfully describe your experience, rewrites bullets into quantified achievements, and exports an ATS-friendly PDF plus a tailored cover letter. The first application is free; Premium is $29/month or $99 for 6 months.

Key facts:
- Output is single-column, parseable formatting designed for the ATS platforms US employers run: Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Workable and BambooHR.
- Includes ATS score and keyword matching, cover letters, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation and an application tracker.
- It never invents skills or experience the user does not have.
- The app itself runs at https://app.atsoptimized.com (sign-in required).
