ATS Resume Match Scoring System

This script evaluates a resume's ATS (Applicant Tracking System) match score against a list of predefined embedded engineering keywords.

How It Works

1. Extracts text from the resume (CV) provided in a text format.
2. Compares it against a predefined set of keywords used by ATS in the embedded industry.
3. Assigns weightage to each keyword based on relevance.
4. Computes an ATS match percentage based on keyword occurrences.

Installation & Usage

1. Install Python

Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can check by running:

python --version

If Python is not installed, download it from python.org.

2. Clone or Download the Script

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/ats-resume-scoring.git
cd ats-resume-scoring

3. Prepare Your Resume

• Save your resume as a plain text file (e.g., resume.txt).
• Ensure it's formatted properly for accurate keyword extraction.

4. Run the Script

python ats_scoring.py

Customizing the Keyword List

This script uses a hardcoded list of keywords, but you can dynamically extract relevant skills from the job description using AI.

Extract Keywords Using AI

To enhance accuracy, extract the most relevant keywords from the job description before running the ATS match.

Steps:

1. Copy and paste the job description into an AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT, OpenAI API, or spaCy).
2. Ask AI to extract technical skills as a Python list.
3. Replace the keywords dictionary in the script with the extracted terms.

Example prompt to ChatGPT:

Extract key technical skills and relevant terms from this job description. Return them as a Python list.

Modify the Keyword List in the Script

Once extracted, update the keywords dictionary inside ats_scoring.py.

keywords = {
    "Embedded C": 10, "RTOS": 8, "Embedded Linux": 10, "Bootloader": 7,
    "Device Tree": 7, "Kernel Modules": 7, "ARM Cortex-M": 10, "Microcontrollers": 8,
    "MPUs": 6, "Protocols": 6, "UART": 6, "SPI": 6, "I2C": 6,
    "Ethernet": 6, "Debugging": 7, "Oscilloscope": 7, "Logic Analyzers": 7,
    "Git": 7, "Jira": 5, "Confluence": 5, "GCC": 7, "VS Code": 5,
    "ISO 26262": 8, "Functional Safety": 8, "Compiler": 7, "Firmware": 10,
    "Board bring-up": 9, "System Validation": 8, "Automotive": 7,
    "Defense": 6, "Avionics": 6
}

Improving Accuracy

To further refine the ATS score calculation:

• Use AI-powered keyword extraction from job descriptions.
• Incorporate NLP (spaCy, NLTK, or Transformers) to match synonyms.
• Enhance scoring with keyword frequency analysis.
