How can I tell which ATS a company uses?

The quickest sign is the address of the application page. Hosted job boards sit on the vendor's domain, for example jobs.lever.co or boards.greenhouse.io. If the page is on the company's own domain, click Apply and look at the address again, since it often moves to the system's domain. Paste any address into the checker above to match it against known systems.

Does this tool fetch the job page?

No. It reads only the address you paste, in your browser, and compares it with a list of known domains. It does not open the page, scrape it, or send the link to a server.

Why does the checker say it cannot tell?

Because the address belongs to the employer rather than a known system. Many employers embed a system inside their own careers site. Rather than guess, the tool says so and suggests how to find the real address.

Does knowing the ATS help me pass it?

It helps you prepare, but it does not give you a score or a pass. All of these systems work best with a readable file, standard section headings and wording that matches the job. The system name tells you what the application process looks like.

How the check works

Most applicant tracking systems host job pages on their own domains, for example a jobs subdomain on the vendor's website. The tool reads the host name and a few well-known address patterns from the link you paste and compares them with a list of fifteen systems. Nothing is fetched from the job page, and the link stays in your browser.

Why the answer can be "unknown"

Large employers often run their careers page on their own domain and load an applicant tracking system inside it. The address then shows only the employer, not the vendor. In that case the tool says it cannot tell instead of guessing, because a wrong answer would send you to the wrong preparation advice. Following the Apply button often moves you to the system's own domain, and pasting that address gives a clear result.

What knowing the system changes

The system does not change what a good resume looks like: a single column, standard headings, selectable text and relevant wording work everywhere. It changes what to expect during the application. Some systems fill a profile from your resume and ask you to correct it, some ask a long list of questions, and some let recruiters search by keyword afterwards. Knowing that in advance saves time and avoids mistakes in pre-filled fields.

Systems the tool recognises

Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS, Oracle Taleo, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, Workable, BambooHR, Jobvite, Recruitee, Breezy HR, Teamtailor, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Recruiting Cloud. The list covers the hosted job boards that appear most often in public postings. It does not cover every system, and a system missing from the list will show as unknown.

Applicant tracking systems differ in how they ask for your resume, so it helps to know which one you are about to use. The address of a job posting often answers that. This page reads the address you paste, matches it against the public job-board domains of fifteen widely used systems, and tells you plainly when it cannot tell.

Recommended Workflow

Step 1

Copy the link from the application page

Use the address in your browser's address bar once you are on the page where you apply, not the link from a job aggregator, which usually points to the aggregator itself.

Step 2

Read the result and open the matching guide

If the system has a guide on this site, open it for what to check before you upload. The guides describe preparation for each system and do not reproduce how any employer configures it.

Step 3

Check the file before you upload

Run your exported resume through the ATS parser and read the text it recovers. Confirm your name, titles, employers and dates survived, because that is what any system works from.

Step 4

Check every pre-filled field

If the application fills a profile from your resume, read each field and correct it. A misread job title or date is easier to fix on the form than to explain later.

Common Mistakes This Page Can Help You Catch

Treating the result as a score

Knowing the system tells you what to expect, not whether you will be selected. It is a way to prepare, and it says nothing about how an employer has configured screening.

Rewriting the resume for each system

A clean, single-column resume with standard headings suits all of them. Spend the time tailoring the wording to the job instead of changing the layout for each vendor.

Pasting an aggregator link

Links from job boards and search results usually point to the aggregator. Follow Apply to the employer's page and paste that address.

Trusting a guess

Some sites guess the system from page code or the employer's name. A guess can be wrong. This tool only names a system when the address itself says so.
