About the role
The ATS doesn't have to be the bane of your job-search existence.
We've all been there: you find the perfect job opportunity, customize your resume and cover letter, submit your online application, and then pray it will pass the infamous six-second resume review test. Unfortunately, more often than not, your job application is lost in the applicant tracking system – and you're left wondering why the employer or hiring manager wasn't that into you.
What many job seekers don't realize is that 75% of job applications don't get seen by human eyes. Before your resume reaches the hands of a live person, it must often pass muster with what's known as an applicant tracking system.
