The ATS Problem

Your profile is
being filtered out.

Before your LinkedIn profile reaches the hands of a hiring manager at UNDP, World Bank, FCDO, or any major NGO, it must pass a series of automated checks by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

An ATS rejects your LinkedIn profile if it ranks low based on keyword matching against the specific job description. If your profile is not written with an ATS in mind, you can be a perfectly qualified candidate and still be invisible to recruiters.

EvalCommunity's LinkedIn Scanner compares the keywords in your profile against those in any job description you are targeting — and tells you exactly how to improve your score.

Optimise my ATS score
How It Works

Three steps.
One optimised profile.

Scanning and optimising your LinkedIn profile for ATS takes three simple steps — and gives you personalised, actionable feedback instantly.

  1. Upload your LinkedIn PDF

    Go to your public LinkedIn profile, click the More button under your name and headline, then select Save to PDF. Upload the downloaded file directly to the scanner.

    No login or LinkedIn access required.

  2. Insert a job description

    Paste the full job description for the specific vacancy you want to apply for. The scanner analyses your profile's work experience and other information against that exact posting.

    Works for any role — UN, NGO, bilateral, consulting.

  3. View your results

    Receive personalised feedback based on best practices for LinkedIn optimisation — including your ATS match score, missing keywords, and specific recommendations for improvement.

    Built using input from professional recruiters.

What You Get

Three things the scanner
does for your career.

Find out what ATS thinks of your profile

Scan your LinkedIn profile and compare its keywords against those in a specific job description. Instantly understand why recruiters may be passing over your application — before you submit it.

Customise your profile for every role

Know exactly which keywords to add and which sections to strengthen for each application. Match as many job-specific terms as possible to maximise your ATS ranking and increase your visibility to recruiters.

Attract the recruiter's attention

Make your LinkedIn profile ATS-friendly through keyword analysis, formatting improvements, and quantified experience guidance. Get your profile in front of human recruiters — and make sure it stands out when it gets there.

Why EvalCommunity

Built for M&E professionals.
Not generic job seekers.

Most ATS scanners are built for corporate recruiters. Ours is calibrated for the specific language, frameworks, and hiring practices of international development.

Built with real recruiters

Our scanner was developed using direct input from professional M&E and international development recruiters — not generic hiring algorithms. The feedback reflects what real hiring managers at UNDP, FCDO, and World Bank actually look for.

Sector-specific keyword matching

The scanner understands M&E terminology — MEAL, results-based management, log frames, theory of change, KoboToolbox, STATA, evaluation design — and matches your profile against job descriptions using the right vocabulary.

LinkedIn-specific (not just resumes)

Most ATS scanners only check resumes. Our tool is built specifically to analyse LinkedIn profiles — understanding how headline, summary, experience, and skills sections are weighted differently by recruitment software.

Actionable, personalised feedback

You do not get a generic score. You get specific, role-targeted recommendations — which keywords to add, which sections to strengthen, and how to restructure your experience to rank higher for the exact job you want.

FAQ

Understanding ATS &
the EvalCommunity Scanner.

Everything you need to know about how applicant tracking systems work and how to beat them.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is recruitment software used by employers and agencies to collect, sort, scan, and rank the job applications they receive. Before any human reads your LinkedIn profile or resume, the ATS scores it against the job description — and most profiles are eliminated at this stage. Understanding ATS is now a prerequisite for a successful job search in any sector, including M&E and International Development.
An ATS scans your profile or resume and extracts key information — job titles, skills, qualifications, and keywords — then compares it against the language in the job description. It assigns a match score and ranks you against other applicants. Profiles that score below a threshold are automatically filtered out, regardless of the candidate's actual qualifications. This is why keyword alignment between your profile and the specific job posting is critical.
The most effective approach is to tailor your LinkedIn profile and resume for each specific job application — incorporating the keywords, phrases, and terminology from the job description directly into your own content. You should also avoid unusual formatting, graphics, and tables that some ATS systems cannot parse correctly. EvalCommunity's Scanner identifies exactly which keywords are missing from your profile for a given role, so you know precisely what to add.
Virtually all large international development organisations — including UN agencies, bilateral donors (FCDO, GIZ, USAID contractors), the World Bank Group, major INGOs, and global consulting firms — use ATS software to manage their recruitment. Even mid-sized NGOs increasingly rely on these systems to handle high volumes of applications. If you are applying for any professional role in the development sector, your application will almost certainly be screened by an ATS first.
Most general ATS scanners are built for corporate sectors and do not understand M&E or international development terminology. EvalCommunity's scanner was built with input from professional development sector recruiters — it understands MEAL frameworks, results-based management, evaluation methodologies, and the specific language of our sector. The feedback you receive is directly relevant to the roles you are pursuing.
Go to your LinkedIn profile, click the More button under your name and headline, and select Save to PDF — this downloads your profile as a file. Upload that PDF to the scanner, then paste the full job description for the specific role you want to apply for. The scanner will compare both documents, calculate your match score, and give you personalised recommendations for improvement. The entire process takes under two minutes.
Both have their place, but they serve different purposes. A resume is a targeted, role-specific document — it should be tailored for each application and is generally the stronger choice for formal submissions. Your LinkedIn profile is your always-on professional presence and is often the first place recruiters look when they find you proactively. Both should be ATS-optimised, and both should tell a consistent, complementary story. Applying with both — a tailored resume plus an optimised LinkedIn profile — gives you the strongest possible positioning.
LinkedIn's Easy Apply feature submits your profile as-is to the employer's ATS — often without letting you tailor your application to the specific role. If your profile has not been optimised for that job's keywords, your ATS score will be low and your application will likely be filtered out before any human reviews it. Always scan and optimise your LinkedIn profile against the specific job description before applying — even with Easy Apply. The two minutes it takes to scan can make the difference between an interview invitation and silence.
