Have you ever wondered why your email is retrieved immediately after you’ve just submitted your CV?
This is the reason why!
An applicant tracking system, generally referred to as ATS, is a technology used by many employers to automate and streamline their hiring process. Throughout your job search, you are likely to come across multiple apps that use an applicant tracking system to select candidates based on the keywords they use.
These systems are fast becoming the number one way large companies find qualified candidates online.
This means that job seekers are no longer creating CVs for human eyes only. Before any hiring manager sees her CV, they must first pass the initial ATS assessment.
Fortunately, you can easily beat candidate tracking systems with a little simple optimization. To do this, you will need the right format, the right keywords, and the right strategy for your CV.
I HOPE THIS SHALL HELP SOMEBODY OUT THERE!
