Ashby resume parser test
A newer ATS popular with startups, with a modern parser that reads most clean resumes well.
What it reads reliably
- Text-based PDFs, including simple designed layouts
- Common date formats and section names
- Links to LinkedIn, GitHub, and portfolios
Where resumes break
- Dense multi-column designs can still scramble the order of jobs
- Skills buried in graphics or icons are not read
- Very long resumes bury the keywords recruiters search for
Formatting rules for Ashby
- Lead each role with the skills the posting names, in plain words.
- Keep skill names as text, not logos or rating bars.
- One or two pages is plenty for most roles.
Test your own resume against every major system from the parser test hub.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Workday or Greenhouse parser?
No. It is an independent simulation built from documented ATS parsing behavior, field tests, and standard text extraction heuristics. Vendors do not publish their internal parsers.
What does the parsed preview show?
The parsed preview displays the flat, linear text that an ATS extraction engine reads: bullet decorations removed, whitespace normalized, and columns merged. If information looks scrambled here, it will likely scramble in an ATS.
Which file formats can I test?
PDF, DOCX, RTF, and TXT files. Parsing runs entirely inside your browser, and your file is never uploaded to an external server.
Why did my resume score well here but scramble in a real job portal?
Every employer configures custom application fields and may run older parser versions. Treat this simulation as a reliable pre-flight check for the most common structural traps before submitting.
