What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to manage job applications and filter candidates. It scans resumes for keywords, formatting, and relevance before a human ever sees your application. Up to 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching a hiring manager.

Why Does It Matter?

Companies receive hundreds of applications per position, and ATS helps them efficiently find qualified candidates. Even if you're perfect for the job, an ATS-unfriendly resume might prevent you from getting an interview. Optimizing for ATS gives you a significant competitive advantage in your job search.

How The ATS Works

Initial Scanning

Your resume is scanned for keywords, job titles, skills, and education that match the job description.

Scoring & Ranking

Applications are scored based on keyword relevance and ranked against other candidates.

Human Review

Top-ranking resumes are passed to recruiters for human review and potential interviews.

Common ATS Mistakes to Avoid

Using Images or Graphics

ATS systems cannot read images, including charts, graphs, or photos. Stick to plain text.

Complex Formatting

Tables, text boxes, headers/footers, and columns can confuse ATS systems and cause parsing errors.

Unusual Section Headers

Creative section titles like "My Journey" instead of "Work Experience" may not be recognized by ATS systems.

Non-Standard File Types

Using .jpg, .png, or other non-standard formats can prevent ATS from parsing your resume entirely.

Keyword Stuffing

Overloading with keywords in white text or unnaturally can trigger spam filters in modern ATS systems.

Ignoring Job Requirements

Not tailoring your resume to include specific skills and requirements from the job description.
