If so, you might need to target your application and experience to the position being applied for, using keywords and skills to get past the applicant tracking system, ATS, in the hiring process. If you aren’t hearing back, or are getting generic rejection email after generic rejection email, chances are you aren’t getting past the ATS.
How do I Get Through the ATS?
Each company has its own way of using their ATS, which leaves applicants wondering this same question with each job application. An ATS quickly and accurately compares your resume, skills, and experience to the job announcement. This includes years worked and education required. When the recruiter and hiring manager create the job announcement, they are able to specify which skills and qualifications are the most desired, what mix of skills is a must-have, and even how much experience they want the ATS to look for in a specific area.
