Applicant Tracking Systems are designed to help companies match, rank and manage candidates throughout the entire hiring process.
They work very well for companies … but what you don’t know can get you spit out of the system IMMEDIATELY. The next few videos & checklists will show you how to make sure that does not happen to you!
How the ATSs work & why companies use them
When you apply for a job online, the ATS scans everything you enter (including your uploaded resume) for your contact information, work experience, key skills and educational background. Then the ATS loads all that data into a searchable database the employers can use to match you to open jobs, rank you against other candidates, and move you through the process.
From A to Z, the system allows company recruiters & hiring managers to review your application, send you automated messages, schedule video and other interviews and give you online tests. Once they hire you, they use the system to effortlessly move you into “employee” mode, and all your information moves over to the onboarding process.
These integrated systems streamline the recruiting, application, and hiring process for employers. They save companies millions of dollars per year, and when they are used correctly, they save candidates time and headaches, too.
But these systems are FAR FROM PERFECT. And what you don’t know can really hurt you. Most urgent for you to know is this: 75% of people who apply online get rejected instantly because their resume cannot be read by the ATS. That is just ONE of the challenges you will face when you apply online.
Great news: I am about to tell you … step by step … how to make sure your resume does not get spit out by the system. I’ll teach you how to make sure you at least get into the pile of consideration next time you apply online.
