ATS Machine!

 What you need to know about an ATS machine!


”After submitting countless job applications without hearing anything back, online job seekers are searching for answers. What they’re discovering is that the software hiring companies use to collect applications is standing between them, a corporate recruiter, and a job interview. These applicant tracking systems make it harder for job seekers to get their resume in front of a decision maker.”


An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software used by companies to assist with human resources, recruitment, and hiring needs. While each system offers a different package of features, applicant tracking systems are primarily used to help hiring companies organize and navigate large numbers of applicants.


The ATS software are resume bots that automatically scan, sort, and rank resumes based on whether they meet certain qualifications.


This is an eye opener to applicant out there that they do not only need to write a strong resume, but they also need to write for the bots. 


A few tips to make your resume ATS-friendly include:

Avoid images, charts, tables, graphics, or funky symbols. The ATS has difficulty translating those.

Optimize your resume with specific job-related keywords. These are the words that the job listing (and similar ones) most frequently include.

Save your resume as a Word document — not a PDF. Word documents tend to be more ATS friendly. Otherwise stated

Put your keywords in context while and ATs will pick the letters an human eye want to see the ”How” so express the keywords with quantifiable achievements.

Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things. The first strategy is difficult to the point of near impossibility.  The second strategy is fairly easy. Everyone has at least a few areas in which they could be in the top 25% with some effort. In my case, I can draw better than most people, but I’m hardly an artist. And I’m not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I’m funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes.
