An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a software application that businesses may use to electronically and more efficiently handle their recruitment tracking and processes.
This software is designed to filter large amounts of applications automatically based on a range of criteria such as:
- keywords
- skills and competencies
- former employers
- years of experience
- education and schools attended
The challenge is that many qualified candidates are screened out of the recruitment process before their resume gets to the eyes of a human being!
Resume optimization techniques are important when creating and formatting your resume and cover letter.
FYI…all of the documents I prepare for my clients meet ATS requirements.
