The ATS Black Hole: Why Your Resume Might Be Disappearing and How to Escape
Understanding the ATS (Applicant Tracking System)
Applicant Tracking Systems, or ATS, are software programs that many large companies use to streamline their hiring process. They scan and filter resumes based on specific keywords and criteria before a human recruiter ever sees them. While ATS systems can help companies find suitable candidates quickly, they can also inadvertently eliminate qualified applicants whose resumes don’t perfectly match the programmed keywords.
Common ATS Optimization Tips (with a Twist)
To increase your chances of getting past the ATS and into the hands of a recruiter, consider these tips:
Tailor Your Resume: Carefully analyze each job description and incorporate relevant keywords throughout your resume.
Keep it Simple: Avoid overly fancy formatting, graphics, and unusual fonts, as ATS systems might have trouble reading them.
Focus on Results: Quantify your achievements with numbers and metrics to demonstrate your value.
The Human Factor: While these tips are helpful, relying solely on them can feel limiting. That’s where Turn To comes in…
