VANTAGE-7: the ATS score built to predict whether you get seen.
Most resume tools stop at keywords. VANTAGE-7 checks the seven practical risks that decide whether your resume parses, matches the role, proves the right experience, and gives you something defensible to say in the interview.
Parsing accuracy
Keyword match
Proof density
Role alignment
Platform risk
Resume structure
Interview routing
Why basic ATS checkers miss the point.
Traditional ATS tools mostly grade keyword overlap. That is useful, but incomplete. VANTAGE-7 measures whether the resume can be parsed, matched, understood, believed, and carried into an interview.
The 7 vectors explained in plain English.
Most people use the score as the rewrite brief.
The score tells you what is wrong. Mark fixes it using the same seven-vector framework, so the rewrite is not cosmetic. It is targeted.
Get My Resume Rewritten by MarkParsing Accuracy
Weak: creative formatting, missing section labels, or dates that get separated from roles. Strong: clean headings, standard chronology, and bullets the ATS can attach to the right employer.
Keyword Match Precision
Weak: generic synonyms that never mirror the job description. Strong: exact role language used naturally in summary, skills, and experience bullets.
Proof Density
Weak: "responsible for reporting and stakeholder communication." Strong: "built weekly executive reporting cadence used by 6 directors to cut forecast review time 32%."
Role Alignment Strength
Weak: a broad career history that makes the target role feel like a pivot. Strong: every section points toward the role, even when the background is non-linear.
Platform Risk Score
Weak: tables, graphics, text boxes, or title formatting that can break in Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, or Taleo. Strong: parser-safe structure without making the resume look cheap.
Resume Structure Integrity
Weak: cramped sections, inconsistent bullets, and unclear hierarchy. Strong: a clean scan path from headline to proof to skills to education.
Interview Routing Probability
Weak: the resume creates doubt or asks the recruiter to infer the story. Strong: the resume creates obvious follow-up questions that help you control the screen.
Keyword matching is only one layer.
A resume can contain the right phrases and still fail because the ATS misreads the layout, the bullets do not prove scope, or the title language does not map cleanly to the target role.
How KINETK uses it
We use VANTAGE-7 to diagnose the gap, then rewrite around the job description, ATS platform, recruiter scan, and interview narrative. The goal is not a prettier resume. The goal is a stronger screen.
What VANTAGE-7 actually checks.
Parsing Accuracy
Can the ATS read your sections, titles, dates, bullets, and contact details without dropping context?
Keyword Match Precision
Does your resume use the exact role language from the job description without looking stuffed or mechanical?
Proof Density
Do your bullets prove scope, tools, business value, and measurable outcomes instead of listing responsibilities?
Role Alignment Strength
Does the resume make the target role feel obvious, or does the reader have to translate your background?
Platform Risk Score
Does the resume avoid the layout and wording problems that show up in Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo?
Resume Structure Integrity
Is the document built in a clean hierarchy that helps both ATS parsing and human skim speed?
Interview Routing Probability
Does the resume create a coherent story that gives interviewers useful follow-up questions instead of doubts?
Before rewrite
Low match score, vague role language, missing tool proof, inconsistent titles, and bullets that describe responsibilities instead of outcomes.
After VANTAGE-7 routing
Clear target alignment, exact keyword coverage, parser-safe structure, measurable proof, and a resume that supports the interview conversation.
