Limitations & Privacy
ResumeHeatMap provides directional signals, not hiring guarantees. We combine a human scan model and an ATS parsing model so you can improve both readability and parseability.
Human scan model
Estimates likely first-pass attention zones using published eye-tracking patterns. It is not individual eye-tracking.
ATS parsing model
Checks common parsing and keyword risks with vendor-neutral rules. It is not an exact simulation of any single ATS setup.
What we simulate
- Likely first-pass attention hotspots and scan flow.
- Common parsing risks (layout, sections, formatting artifacts).
- Keyword overlap vs. a target job description.
What we don't
- Exact behavior of Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, or internal custom rules.
- Recruiter decisions, interview outcomes, or hiring results.
- Every edge case in custom PDFs, templates, or enterprise configurations.
