ATS are essentially software that stores resumes for hiring teams and recruiters for future retrieval or matching candidates with open requsitions through searching the ATS. Some, more sophisticated, actually act as a gatekeeper, so the “robots” will do the sourcing and sorting of candidates and send those matches to the recruiters for vetting. I write all of my resumes in adherence with best resume writing practices, which includes incorporating keywords and strategies for the digital application process. An ATS is software aids companies with streamlining the hiring process and reviewing applications more quickly. Paper applications are dated these days. There are too many candidates to keep up with if you are not using an ATS. The systems organize and sort applications, they can also be setup to screen candidates based on the resume’s content. Many ATS’ score applications and rank their visibility per their alignment with the job description. Aside from content, the ATS has a hard time parsing the data from the application/resume into the ATS if the resume has any text boxes, borders, headers/footers, columns, graphics, pictures, etc. So the rule of thumb is less is more, focus on the content. #ATS #Jobstickers #ApplicantTrackingsystem #ATSoptimization #ATSbestpractices #ResumeforATS #OnlineRecruiting #DigitalRecruiting #StreamlineHiring #RecruitmentTechnology #SourcingSoftware #TalentAcquisition #ApplicantExperience #CandidateExperience #AIRecruiting #RecruitmentAutomation #RoboticRecruiting #ResumeRobotReader #SearchableResume #DigitalHiring #eRecruiting #Applicationsystems #HiringTech #HRTech #TechRecruiting
