checks
If dates parse inconsistently, role credibility drops fast.
Chronology is one of the highest-impact resume signals for both ATS and recruiters.
What this catches
Mixed date formats, missing month-year pairs, overlaps, and chronology ambiguity.
Why it matters
Unclear timelines reduce parser confidence and create manual review friction.
Fix sequence
Normalize date format across roles, preserve reverse chronology, and validate parser output.
