ATS resume optimisation

An applicant tracking system does not score your resume or reject it. It parses the file into fields, and a recruiter then searches those fields. Most applications that vanish were not rejected by an algorithm — they were parsed badly, landed in the database with an empty experience field, and never appeared in the search a human ran. Fixing that is a formatting problem, not a writing one.

What you receive

The handover

Finished files

Production-ready output in the format your printer, platform or workshop actually needs — press PDF, editable source, CAD file, font binary or deck, as the work requires.

Editable sources

The working files, not just the export, so your team can change the work later without coming back to us.

Full rights

Copyright transfers to you on final payment. Nothing we make for you is resold or reused elsewhere.

Two revision rounds

Included in the quoted price. Corrections are logged against the draft rather than argued over on a call.

How it works

Five steps, and you approve the first three

01 · Brief

You tell us what the finished thing has to do, and send whatever material you already have.

02 · Scope & price

A written scope, a fixed figure and a delivery date, usually within one working day.

03 · Structure

You sign off the architecture before production starts, so nothing large is built on a wrong assumption.

04 · Production

Work arrives in stages as it finishes, not all at the end, with two revision rounds included.

05 · Handover

Files, sources and rights in your hands, and the invoice closed.

In detail

ATS optimisation — how we produce it

We read your current file the way a parser does, identify which sections would land in the wrong field or nowhere at all, and rebuild the structure. Then we align terminology to the advertisements you are targeting, without inventing experience.

One honest statement: nobody can guarantee a pass. There is no single ATS, no published scoring model, and anyone promising a “98% ATS score” is quoting a number they invented. What we can do is ensure the document parses cleanly and contains the terms a recruiter will search.

Fixed price agreed in writing, two to four working days. If your resume is already clean and the real problem is content, we will say so rather than sell you a formatting pass.

What actually goes wrong in an ATS

Parsing first, keywords second, readability throughout

Structure the parser can read

Single column, standard headings, no text boxes, no tables for layout, no critical information in headers or footers. Two-column templates are the single most common reason experience disappears.

Headings systems recognise

“Experience” parses; “Where I have made my mark” does not. Creative headings are the second most common cause of an empty field in the database.

Keywords from the advertisement itself

Recruiters search the terms in their own job description. We align your wording to that language where it is genuinely true of you, and place the terms where they read naturally.

Both forms of every term

Systems match strings, not meaning. “Search engine optimisation (SEO)” matches both queries; either alone matches one. Same for K8s and Kubernetes, and for every certification acronym.

Dates and titles in a standard form

Month and year, consistent throughout, with real job titles. An invented internal title parses into a field no recruiter will ever search for.

Still readable by a person

Every ATS-clean resume is eventually read by a human. A document optimised only for parsing and unreadable on screen fails at the next step, which is not a success.

Optimisation is usually commissioned together with a rewrite, because a cleanly parsed document with weak content simply fails one stage later.

What you receive

What the optimisation covers

  • Your resume restructured for clean parsing, in editable Word and PDF
  • A keyword map aligned to two or three target advertisements
  • Both forms of each key term placed naturally in the text
  • Standardised headings, dates and job titles
  • A plain-text version for systems that strip formatting entirely
  • A note on which of your claims will survive a recruiter search and which will not

Two to four working days. If the underlying content is the problem rather than the formatting, we will tell you before taking the work.

Questions we are asked

Frequently asked

Do applicant tracking systems reject resumes automatically?

Rarely. They parse the file into a database that recruiters then search. Most “rejections” are applications that parsed badly and never appeared in a search.

Can you guarantee my resume passes?

No, and neither can anyone else honestly. There is no single system and no published scoring. We ensure clean parsing and relevant terms, which is what is actually within anyone’s control.

Are PDFs a problem?

Modern systems read PDFs well. The problems are two-column layouts, text boxes, tables used for layout and information placed in headers or footers — in any file format.

Should I copy the job description into white text?

No. It is detected, and it is treated as deception by every recruiter who finds it. It has ended applications that would otherwise have succeeded.

Is optimisation enough on its own?

Only if the content is already strong. A cleanly parsed weak resume simply fails at the human read instead, and we will tell you which problem you actually have.

Questions

Before you commission

How much does thesis to book conversion cost?

Prices are fixed in writing before work begins. Scope, language count and turnaround move the figure; volume across a programme brings it down. Send the brief and you have a number within a working day.

How long does it take?

Most single deliverables run three to fourteen weeks depending on length and complexity. Programmes are staged so early parts reach you while later parts are still in production. You get a date with the quote.

Who does the work?

A specialist from our thesis to book team, with an editor and a production person on the same project. Everyone is bound by the same confidentiality terms.

Do I own the result?

Yes. Full copyright transfer, editable sources and production-ready files on final payment. Nothing is resold or reused.

Can it be produced in other languages?

Yes — any of a hundred-plus languages, typeset in the same studio so layout and page numbers match across editions.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. Publishers, institutions and founders in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Australia and Japan. Work is delivered by email and shared drive and quoted in US dollars.

What it costs

Published prices, and the LinkedIn profile is free

Most resume services will not quote until you have sent your document and had a conversation. Content Factory publishes the range: ₹2,500 to ₹10,000, decided by your profession and the seniority of the role you are applying for — a graduate resume sits at the bottom of that range and a chief executive package at the top. The figure is fixed in writing before any work starts.

The LinkedIn profile rewrite is included at no charge with every resume. Most services charge separately for it, which makes no sense — a recruiter reads the resume and the profile within minutes of each other, and any disagreement between the two counts against you. Content Factory writes both from one agreed position so they never contradict.

Where exactly you fall in the range depends on your profession and the level you are targeting, not on how long the document is. Send the resume you have now and you will have the figure the same working day — and if it needs nothing, we will tell you that instead.
