Building an ATS tool taught me that resume scores aren't the biggest problem

When I started building ATSAlign, I thought the hardest part would be coming up with an accurate ATS score.

After talking to users and testing different approaches, I realized the score itself wasn't what people were looking for.

Most of the questions I received were things like:

"Why doesn't my resume match this role?"

Hi everyone! Solo founder building in public

Hi everyone!

I'm Varun, a software engineer.

Over the last several months I've been building ATSAlign, an AI tool that helps job seekers understand how well their resume matches a specific job description. I launched it on Product Hunt yesterday, and it was my first experience putting something I'd built in front of such an active maker community.

The launch itself wasn't the biggest lesson. What surprised me most was how thoughtful the feedback was. People weren't just pointing out bugs or asking for features. They were sharing how they actually apply for jobs, organize different resumes, and think about hiring. A few comments have already changed what I'm planning to build next.

ATSAlign - Match your resume to every job before you apply

ATSAlign helps job seekers tailor their resume to every job they apply for. Instead of showing a single ATS score, it explains exactly why your resume doesn't match a role, highlights missing skills and keywords, and provides AI-powered recommendations to improve it. The Chrome extension lets you analyze supported job postings in one click, making it faster to optimize your resume before every application.
