What Are ATS Systems?

Applicant Tracking Systems are software programs companies use to automatically filter resumes. When you submit your CV, it goes through this system before any human sees it.

Key stat: 75% of resumes never reach a human recruiter because of ATS systems.

Why ATS Rejects Your Resume

  • Complex formatting (tables, columns, graphics)
  • Missing keywords that don't match the job description
  • Images or symbols that confuse text parsers
  • Unclear sections without standard headings
