👨💻FROM A CANDIDATE PERSPECTIVE – I would definitely say that the ATS technology creates a terrible candidate experience. In addition to filling out long online forms, most candidates do not know the intricacies of resume formatting required by ATS. Consequently, I believe companies are missing out on some incredible talent. Top talent who don’t understand the format requirements for ATSs are left out.
SOLUTION FOR CANDIDATES –
1. Put in the leg work to learn, adapt or simply use an ATS-friendly resume writing service.
2. To network, connect and reach out to people who can refer you & bypass the ATS.
👨💻FROM AN EMPLOYERS PERSPECTIVE – ATS for employers allows for faster recruitment, more hires, increases hiring efficiency, enables automated job postings and social recruiting, filters out irrelevant applications, allows analytics with a large central data pool, and slashes out human unconscious biases (age, gender, race, religion, etc). Essentially, it’s recruitment under one roof, as well as cost-effective against hiring that many humans to sort through thousands of applications.
SOLUTION FOR EMPLOYERS –
1. Companies who use ATS should educate applicants on the resume formatting requirements in the job posting.
2. Make it easier to utilize, streamline the submission and remove duplicate information filling efforts.
3. Make periodic audits on rejected resumes to ensure applicable candidates are not accidentally screened out.
4. Check and scrutinize ATS filtering parameters or job descriptions to ensure accuracy and flexibility.
