A resume that resonates: Beat the robot applicant tracking system
It may not be that you werenโt qualified, but that your resume wasnโt qualified, according to the applicant tracking system, or ATS. The first person to read your resume isnโt a person at all! An applicant tracking system, or ATS, is software that weeds out job candidates that either donโt fit the description or had an unreadable resume. Forty-three percent of resumes are sent as an incompatible file type, and not every ATS can read PDF.
