Original data on resumes, ATS, and the job search.
Resumly processes hundreds of thousands of resumes and applications. We turn that into original, citable research — no fluff, just numbers you can't get anywhere else. Aggregate and anonymized.
We analyzed 14,136 job-search emails: only 0.35% were interview invitations
What really lands in your inbox after you apply — 80.1% automated noise, 16.3% rejections, and rejections outnumbering interview invites 47 to 1.
We analyzed 138,848 resumes: the words & mistakes that tank ATS scores
What 138,848 real ATS checks reveal about the buzzwords, formatting, and missing keywords most associated with low scores — and the simple fixes that lift them.
We analyzed 30,688 resumes vs their target jobs: the average match was just 48.3%
The "tailoring gap" — 53.8% of resumes match less than half the job they're sent to, and only 9.8% are a strong match.
