Is your Resume ATS Compliant?

 Up to 98% of online applications are rejected at the screening stage, with 70% never seen by a human recruiter.


Why is this:


1. Candidates submit resumes that are not ATS compliant because:

a) the candidate does not know how to write / change a resume so it is ATS compliant.

b) The resume is written with an AI tool and they think that will suffice upon submission. The candidate is wrong.


Resumes need to be target. General resumes do not work for online submissions. Therefore, I recommend that all candidates took time and figure out ATS. If they do not and then compound the fracture by not networking, it is an ineffective, inefficient and frankly, a waste of time.
