How the Applicant Tracking System Works

Companies around the world are using the ATS to find the ideal candidate. How can you make sure your resume doesn't slip through the cracks?

Jobscan explains how the ATS works so you can use it to your advantage:

  1. A job requisition enters into the ATS. This requisition includes information about the position, such as the job title, desired skills, and required experience.
  2. The ATS then uses this information to create a profile for the ideal candidate.
  3. As applicants submit their resumes, the ATS parses, sorts, and ranks them based on how well they match the profile.
  4. Hiring managers then quickly identify the most qualified candidates and move them forward in the hiring process. 

Next time you review your resume, make sure to include key words that will catch the ATS' and an employer's eye.
