ATS Resumes

ATS is short for “applicant tracking system”. ATS is software used by organizations to collect, sort, scan, and rank job applications.

ATS software is a popular way of streamlining the recruitment process. Because ATS parses a resume’s content into categories and scans for keywords, a resume must be written and formatted with the applicant tracking system in mind. Failure to do so will likely result in a qualified candidate being passed over.
