Artificial intelligence, technology & automation are revolutionizing recruitment.
Over 98% (Source: JobScan Survey) of Fortune 500 companies and now even smaller recruitment agencies are leveraging AI to streamline hiring and deliver consistent recruiting processes at a lower cost and quicker. Oracle, itself a Fortune 500 company, continues to dominate the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) market and Taleo stands out with a market share of 30.2%. Walmart corporate uses BrassRing ATS for some listings, but Greenhouse ATS for their Jet.com subsidiary. A key development in the last year is that smaller ATS companies have gained a lot of traction in the startup and technology sectors recently.
Here’s what you need to ask yourself as a jobseeker to build an ATS resume & get past the AI BOT:
❓What industry specific terminology should I include in my resume to improve its ATS compatibility for my industry?
❓How can I format my resume to ensure it is easily parsable & readable by a ATS software?
❓Am I up-to-date with the latest developments and changes in ATS technology and optimization techniques?
❓Are the keywords and phrases mentioned in the job description included in my resume?
❓Have I used a clear and straightforward format, avoiding any graphics, tables or special characters?
❓Have I removed any irrelevant information or previous job duties that don’t align with the current position I am applying for?
❓Have I double-checked for spelling and grammar errors?
❓Have I customized my resume for each job application, tailoring it to the specific requirements mentioned in the job description?
❓Have I included all relevant certifications, degrees and awards, and quantified my accomplishments?
❓Have I saved the file in a compatible format, such as .doc or .pdf?
