Which ATS does your target company use?

Search any S&P 500 company and see which applicant tracking system screens its applications — plus the resume advice specific to that ATS's parser.

Why this matters before you hit "apply"

When you apply to a large US company, your resume is parsed by software before any human sees it. Which software matters: our study of all 503 S&P 500 careers pages found that Workday alone handles ~30% of S&P 500 hiring, and the "enterprise big three" (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle) cover 56% of detected companies. Each one parses resumes differently — a layout that sails through Greenhouse can get mangled by Workday.

The data behind this tool comes from our original research: Which ATS Does Each S&P 500 Company Use? (We Indexed All 503) — including per-sector breakdowns, what 9,260 live job postings actually ask for, and the full downloadable dataset.

Company deep-dives

For companies where we collected enough live postings, we built a full hiring breakdown — the exact ATS, role mix, in-demand skills, and experience requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know which ATS a company uses?
We scraped all 503 S&P 500 careers pages, followed redirects, parsed embedded iframes and scripts, and matched URL hostnames plus HTML signatures against ~25 known ATS vendors. For ambiguous cases we probed the public board APIs of Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable directly. Detection rate: 57% (288 of 503 companies).
Why does it say "Not detected" for some companies?
About 43% of S&P 500 careers sites are single-page apps that load their ATS via JavaScript, which our static crawl can't see. For those companies, use the safest formatting: single-column .docx with standard section headers — that parses correctly in every major ATS.
Why does the ATS matter for my resume?
Each ATS parses resumes differently. Workday and SAP SuccessFactors mangle tables and multi-column layouts; Oracle's PDF parsing is weak, so .docx is safer; iCIMS rewards exact keyword matches from the job description. Knowing the parser lets you fix the specific things it breaks on.
Where does the data come from?
