FEATURE: Add ATS Readability Score for Uploaded Resumes

[himnishag]

Problem

Currently, the resume parser extracts structured information from uploaded resumes, but users do not get a clear score showing how well their resume can be read by an ATS.

Proposed Solution

Add an ATS Readability Score based on the parsed resume output. The score can be calculated using checks such as whether contact information, skills, education, experience, and readable text are detected.

Expected Features

• Display ATS readability score out of 100
• Show score breakdown by sections
• Detect missing or weak sections
• Provide short improvement suggestions
• Work with the existing resume parser flow

Tech Stack

• Next.js 13
• React
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• PDF.js
• Redux Toolkit

Expected Outcome

This feature will help users quickly understand how ATS-friendly their resume is and what sections need improvement.

Hi @himnishag,
I reviewed the issue and understood that the goal is to integrate an ATS Readability Score into the existing resume parser flow and provide users with meaningful feedback about resume quality and ATS compatibility.

I can work on:
✅ Implementing ATS readability scoring out of 100
✅ Adding section-wise score breakdown (skills, education, experience, contact details, readability, etc.)
✅ Detecting missing or weak sections
✅ Providing improvement suggestions for users
✅ Integrating the feature with the existing resume parser workflow
✅ Ensuring clean UI integration and proper testing

I have gone through the expected outcome and would be happy to work on implementing this feature under GSSoC’26 and submit a well-structured contribution.
Kindly assign this issue to me.
If any discussion or coordination is required regarding implementation details, I’m also available on Discord and would be happy to connect.

Hi @sunilkumar2170!

Providing users with immediate, data-backed feedback on their resume compliance score significantly upgrades a productivity tool's core utility. Standardizing parsing metrics helps incoming candidates patch layout vulnerabilities before submitting data to rigid corporate screening filters.

I would love to design and implement this ATS Readability feature. Here is my development architecture strategy for the Next.js 13 workflow:

1. Granular Scoring Engine & Dynamic Context Integration

• Data-Driven Scoring Algorithms: I will write an isolated, deterministic parsing function that processes the text payload from PDF.js. It will systematically calculate an aggregate readability score out of 100 based on weighted criteria (such as presence of vital headers, contact fields, and formatting constraints).
• Redux Toolkit State Syncing: I will update your Redux architecture with a dedicated slice to handle parsing status, score components, and actionable recommendations cleanly without triggering redundant re-renders across the app layout.

2. High-Fidelity Interactive Layout & Breakdowns

• Component-Driven Visual Metrics: Utilizing Tailwind CSS, I will construct an interactive dashboard block featuring an accessible score layout, sectional progress meters, and dynamic drop-downs highlighting missing or weak layout sections.
• Responsive Layout Architecture: I will ensure the breakdown metrics panel scales seamlessly across screen breakpoints, aligning perfectly with your existing theme style guidelines.

I am an active contributor under GSSoC'26, my Next.js and TypeScript environment is fully optimized, and I can deliver a clean, well-tested frontend enhancement.
