Definition: Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Filtering

 Definition: Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Filtering


Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are designed to filter / disqualify out resumes that don't meet specific criteria, such as keywords, experience, or education. The filter / qualifications are directly correlated to the job posting.


In 99% of the cases, the hiring manager will only see the resumes that passed the filter / scored high in the algorithm.


Therefore, it is imperative that a candidate reads the job description and substitutes the appropriate keywords and headline to score higher in the algorithm. If the candidate does not alter the resume, it is correct to assume that in most cases, He / she will get disqualified.
