So your resume made it past the ATS. Congrats — you're in the top 30%. But then... silence. Ghosting. The black hole.
Here's what nobody tells you: passing ATS is just the entrance exam. The real rejection happens in the next 30 seconds.
I've been building , the initial idea was just "fix ATS keywords." But after digging deeper into where applications actually die, it became clear that ATS is table stakes. The real work is optimizing for the human scan.
So SIRA now runs two layers of analysis: one that checks keyword alignment with the job description (ATS layer), and one that evaluates impact density — how many of your bullets have a measurable outcome vs. just describing activity.
You can try it at . Drop in your resume and a job description — it'll tell you exactly where you're leaking opportunities.
The Uncomfortable Truth
Most of us spend hours agonizing over which projects to include, whether our summary sounds smart enough, whether we should list that 2-month contract role. And almost none of us think about how a human reads this document in 30 seconds.
That mismatch is why strong engineers with great experience get ghosted while less experienced candidates get callbacks. It's not about what you've done — it's about how quickly a stranger can extract the signal from your document.
Fix that, and the callbacks start coming.
