The situation
The candidate had 10 years of enterprise customer success experience across multiple SaaS platforms in observability, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. The experience was genuine and the results were documented. The problem was that their resume used general customer success language while the target role was a cybersecurity SaaS position that required specific terminology around CISO engagement, FedRAMP compliance, and post-deployment technical support.
Without tailoring, the resume would likely have been filtered out by ATS before a human read it. The language gap was the issue, not the experience.
Before: Original summary
"Customer Success Manager with 10+ years of enterprise account management experience driving platform adoption, expansion, and renewal across Fortune 500 organizations and government agencies. Proven trusted advisor to executive, program, and technical stakeholders..."
Missing: cybersecurity context, CISO language, technical support framing, FedRAMP experience
After: Unghosted tailored summary
"Customer Success Engineer and Technical Advisor with 10+ years of experience delivering post-deployment technical support and enterprise SaaS lifecycle management across cloud-based platforms. Proven track record conducting executive QBRs with C-suite and CISO-level stakeholders, documenting cybersecurity-adjacent risk outcomes and ROI that drive renewal and expansion in high-growth environments..."
Added: CISO, post-deployment technical support, cybersecurity-adjacent, high-growth, QBR framing

Honest gaps surfaced by unghosted
Unghosted surfaces the gaps between your experience and the role so you can prepare for them rather than encounter them mid-interview.
- !Direct cybersecurity product experience (SIEM, EDR, XDR, CSPM)
- !Hands-on NAS and SAN storage experience
- !Azure and GCP deployment experience (AWS evidenced, cloud platforms not fully confirmed)
- !Startup CSM role (consulting is the closest proxy)
What a 68 match score means
A 68 is a meaningful result for a candidate without direct cybersecurity product experience applying to a cybersecurity-specific role. It reflects genuine transferable experience that unghosted found and reframed in the language of the target role. It does not mean the candidate is a perfect fit for every requirement.
The score is directional guidance. A 68 tells the candidate they have a real shot at getting through ATS screening, clear gaps to prepare for before interviews, and a resume that now speaks the language of the role they are applying to.
