21 ATS Resume Secrets Guide

Understand Step-by-Step Why You Are Not Landing The Interviews You Want...

Secret 2 of 21:
Understanding the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a helpful computer program used by companies to manage job applications and hiring. It helps companies handle many resumes, job listings, and information about people who are applying for jobs.

The video below may initially seem complex, but we aim to demonstrate that achieving the final result isn't rocket science; it's simply a matter of following a series of steps and rules.

While most professionals writing their resumes rely on guesswork, hoping for the desired outcome, you will gain an understanding of the system, learning what truly works and what doesn't.

We will explore these three concepts in more depth:

ATS Compliance: Can any ATS read the contents of your resume both fully and accurately?

ATS Match Rate: Is your resume considered perfectly aligned with any job description?

Job Application Strategy: Are you being noticed and considered a top applicant?

The key to securing the interviews you desire lies in understanding how the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) operates. We cannot overemphasize the significance of this knowledge.

The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) acts as the initial gatekeeper between you and potential employers. Not understanding its importance can lead to unnecessary time, effort, and frustration in the job application process and underwhelming results.

This is both art and science. In order to increase your ATS Match Rate pay attention to what keywords Jobscan says you are missing and try to find a natural way to fit them into your resume. If it feels unnatural then it's okay to skip them. Remember that a person will end up looking at your resume and you don't want to be perceived as gaming the system.

Key Features and Impact

The ATS has many important parts such as sorting resumes, finding specific information in resumes, and sending automatic messages to job applicants. One main part of the ATS is that it can compare resumes to job descriptions to find the best people for the job. This makes it easier for companies to choose the right people to interview and not spend time on those who don’t fit.

Increasing Use and Importance

More companies are using ATS because it makes hiring easier and better. It has become a very important tool for making sure companies find the right people to hire.

Advice for Job Applicants

It’s very important for people looking for jobs to understand how the ATS works. Knowing what is allowed and what is important in resumes will help them get past the ATS and get noticed by the employer. Resumes should be made so that they are easily understood by the ATS and also look good to the people who review them. This means using the right words that match the job and making sure the resume is clear and well-written.
