I ran the ATS myself and had a similarly quirky experience. I was in the 70s because it couldn't find my GitHub profile, and then it didn't like some of the popular Ruby libraries I'm the author of.

After a few runs it picked things up appropriately. I always got dinged on formal education though.

This stuff is gross.

Similar to my experience. Put me around 65 in some runs, because it didn't like I don't have contributions to OSS.

Also, it doesn't pick up certifications or awards. I tried some PRs people are suggesting with enhancements (https://github.com/Zem-0/hiring-agent), it helps, but overall their ATS is hugely biased towards people with large GitHub contributions to OSS.
