  41%

  Missing skills keywords

  33%

  Complex formatting errors

  26%

  Incompatible file types

• Best File Types for ATS: DOCX vs PDF vs DOC

  Format	ATS Success Rate	When to Use
  DOCX	98%	Best for most ATS systems
  PDF	89%	Only if text-selectable (no scans)
  DOC	82%	Avoid - outdated format

  Never use: Images, ZIP, or scanned PDFs (0% ATS readability)
