HOW ATS IMPACTS your CHANCES OF SECURING AN INTERVIEW
what is ats
An ATS is an Applicant Tracking System. An ATS is used by many companies and job boards, to store CVs & quickly sift out suitable candidates, by selecting the CVs that best match the skills on the job description(JD).
aUTOMATIC rANKING
Some ATS will compare your CV to the JD and sift or rank applicants based on how well their CV matches the JD. Recruiters tend to focus on top-ranked candidates instead of reading through each CV.
​Keyword Searches
Recruiters and hiring managers can search CVs stored in the ATS by using keywords. These CV keywords are commonly the keywords used in the JD. They could be based on skills, experiences, location, former employers, or work experience. So if your CV is missing key skills from the JD it may not be flagged for review.
