Ever submitted a resume online and wonder what happens to it? It gets eaten immediately by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Welcome to the machine. The ATS machine is a program set up by the company. After humans input the job criteria for the position you are applying, the program runs an algorithm which scans your resume for keywords.
The sole purpose of the ATS is to save time for the humans by filtering out your resume from consideration. So how does a candidate stand a chance?
Embrace it. Don't fight it. Feed it a taste of its own medicine. Simple copy and paste the entire job description into your resume! Be sure to litter your resume with industry standard keywords as well. It's the only way it stands a chance to be passed along and read by a real human.
