Understanding the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

First things first, what exactly is an ATS? An Applicant Tracking System is a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment needs. It sifts through resumes to find the most qualified candidates, saving recruiters hours of manual work. To make it past this digital gatekeeper, your resume needs to be formatted and written in a way the software can understand.

Why Your Resume Might Be Getting Rejected

• Complex Formatting: Fancy fonts, columns, and graphics can confuse an ATS.
• Missing Keywords: Job descriptions are full of keywords. If they aren't on your resume, the ATS might overlook you.
• Image-Based Resumes: An ATS cannot read text embedded in images.
