GEN-04 — Missing experience metadata
Short answer
GEN-04 checks that every experience entry carries all three of title, company and dates. An ATS opens an experience record from that triple; with one missing, the record is incomplete or never created.

What it checks
- Title present on every entry
- Company name present
- Start and end dates parseable
Why it matters
An ATS builds the experience record from title + company + dates. A missing company makes the record unverifiable in the system.
How to fix it
Give all three on one line: "Software Engineer — Trendyol, Istanbul · Mar 2022 – Present".
Frequently asked questions
How should the line look?
"Title — Company, City · Mon YYYY – Mon YYYY" is unambiguous for both parser and human.
