It’s actually infuriating that I need to “dumb down” my resume because a computer automatically throws out 75% of people that apply.... Who are probably more qualified then the 25% it pics out because those people know how to cheat a computer, rather than the rest who are actually qualified but just have a resume that a computer Program deemed unworthy
No but seriously. HR is a useless field. Have never been to an HR screening where the interviewer knew enough to be evaluating me as a candidate. Pointless bureaucrats.
Agree. Then add another 3 or 4 stages of recruitment such as mental agility test or a phone/video interview. And even if you already have a perfect CV, then you have to write everything again on each website... Plus the cover letter.
Jen, such a good explanation about the ATS's. The one you highlighted that people especially ought to remember are the special characters and anything that looks goofy!
Thanks, Andy. I've had plenty of times as a hiring manager where I asked to see the screened out applicants out of curiosity and found many great candidates. My background is in data so I know sometimes the story you see isn't the right story. I know I was by far an exception though! Many fantastic candidates miss out on jobs just by not understanding what's happening behind the scenes.
NOT a fan of ATS! Apply for a job but you have to essentially gear your resume using SEO principles. Employers want people with great interpersonal skills, yet , your resume isn't reviewed by a human being and the rejection letter you get is a computer generated form letter. Great interpersonal skills there.... Good info I'm sure if your looking to beat the system, but when things aren't broken, don't go messing with them. HR staff/employers need to go back to reviewing applications and resumes. throw out the Applicant Trashing System!
Jen, thanks for these super valuable tips about applicant tracking systems. This can be so intimidating. You did a wonderful job explaining what an ATS is and how an applicant can get around it.
Im a job trainer and this how things are gone now if you do it right you won't need to apply to 20 position. I use matching keywords often gets my clients interview call backs fast. Myself included
Robert − Just learned about ATS a month ago and I′ve found that method to work best. Good of you to share, because one can never tell unless you′re specifically told ... or you get the job I suppose, at which time you no longer really care.
Some companies have their own online application where you have to fill in your contact, education, and experience information. But also they have a section to upload a pdf resume. Why would they have both, since I have already provided like 90% of the important info by filling the online application?!
In short, your essential building your own profile within the ATS software for them because their software cant pull your details from your CV into the ATS properly. Its not ideal, but some companies simply cant afford to make sure all of their applications are compatible with ensure seamless integration. You would essentially be a CV sat in a system where there are thousands of fully completed profiles without completing the initial form if this I'd the case... it's frustrating, but not all companies have the budget for top shelf HRIS/CRM/ATS solutions that dont require you to do this.
@@juliana2000 if you don't have time to make a proper application, why the hiring manager should allocate time to review your application when he/she has hundreds of resumes that applied properly?
As someone who use to be a regional director for a key top global company back in Dubai, I was devastated after coming across this ATS system that have destroyed my morale and got me so hopeless that will I ever get my dream interview
I paid a fiverr gig 100$ to create a resume and they ended up heavy with information stuffed into columns and tables. I have sent out 1000s of resumes and received 3-4 calls, meaning the ATS was playing dirty probably. Damn, my time got wasted 😮
me too: I keep on hearing or reading contradictory advice - like only list hard skills in resumes and keep the soft skills for the cover letter with explanation - and also spent 30$ a month in a dummy robot that is suppose to help me figure out which key words I should add to my resume... damn, my resume is my story, take it or leave it ! I only apply to perfect matches 'dutywise', checking all the boxes in their must haves, but it's never enough ! "only the candidates selected for interview will be contacted", so all the other ones can have to guess how in the world they got ignored, what was missing in their application or any such feedback from anyone
In other video I saw that Times New Roman font CVS are automatically deleted by ATS. So, I don't know who to believe. It seems so hard to determine what really works :/ . Sorry if my comment seems to be bothering but I really got very confused having this two different sides abot the Times new roman font.
Known is a drop and unknown is an ocean, the more intervention of IT in our lives, the learning becomes endless. In the current cgatGpt era you need to find a way to stay above it (a model that can parse the whole web) to survive.
Hi Jen, so i'm find this valuable info in 2024. So sharp to this job of seeking a chance between an ocean of candidates. So many watchers put here their frustration on their failed processes, only a few could understand the point, to make an accurate CV's, it's the entry to the entire HR's path. So lovely explained!
Very annoyed at this software and the sheer lazyness and unprofessional behaviour of those that used it. I have been ignored for four years now. There is nothing wrong with my resume if you actually read it. But so I found out today, god only knows why, but after being put through this software, i look like a complete loser. Doesn't even make any sense. It is completely ignoring all of the work i have done over the years and only mentioning to employers the few years of security work i did while at Uni. This has ruined me and my sons life.
we're all on the same boat, man... looks like a war declaration from employers ! WTF is this BS ? I'm just disgusted after losing a full year trying to solve their stupid tantrums 🤬🤬🤬
Thank you, it is very helpful and you are so sweet! I did all the mistakes so far 😅 now i know why noone was calling me 😳 well, i hope that was the reason 😄
hello! do i need to take a ATS class? because i am new here in US and someone interested my resume but it required ATS. I am curious about this. Thank you!
My three positions with one company does not register well with the ATS. ATS sorts them as separate positions with incomplete company information. How should a resume be formatted to get past that?
I think no, because the company can be subjected to prejudice in a worst case scenario and.. they don't take risks I think they will ask you for a photo if you want it, so it's just better not to put
Great video! I've tailored resumes for ATS in the past, but have also had a more descriptive resume that I'd hand to hiring managers. Is this advisable to have two seperate resumes?
Hi Matthew! Thanks for your comment. We suggest using just one resume that is both descriptive and tailored for ATS. After your resume passes through the tracking software, a hiring manager or recruiter will review it before inviting you to an interview. It's important to write your resume with that in mind. I'm curious why you went with two versions in the past. Was it for length purposes? It can be very difficult to be concise when writing a resume!
In theory, but what is happening is its rejecting qualified applicants as a result of how employers enter their specs. Also do you know this software can be used to discriminate?
You can keep complaining about ATS and how unfair they are or just update your resume and yourself to the new rules... Thanks for sharing! Very useful :)
ATS eliminates the human from human resources, the talent in talent acquisition, and often eliminates the unicorn candidates you've been looking for because their skills were described honestly rather than generalized in a cut-and-paste of what the job description has already said. In one sense, this is a test where the answers are already given so it should be easy. In the more realistic sense, why would any employer want this? It filters out candidates based on the least important factor: they're ability to copy the teacher's work.
Can someone help me create a CV that will stand out , I want to be a cabin crew and just graduated from college so I need some help from someone who has experience
I'm not trying to suggest lying on a resume. It almost always comes back to haunt you later (and it's wrong even if it doesn't). However, there are many different ways to word things and still be truthful. This includes using the same words as a job description or putting on skills where you have at least some knowledge. I wouldn't recommend listing a skill or tool that you have absolutely no experience with but if you have some experience then you can have that discussion during interview.
Why in the DEVILS hell would an ATS software use optical recognition vs ascii recognition? If someone is going to say PDF, how about Word, Word Pad, Notepad, ETC.
A software deciding whether your resume will ever make it to an actual human HR employee dor evaluation. Great! But hey, don't you worry, you humans out there. You can trick the machine by adjusting your resume: just take all individuality out of it, no fancy fonts or pictures, don't get too creative! 🤮😱😡

Wow ! clean, concise and great video. Thanks for everything !
Imagine being a graduate who is trying to find a job having to make 20+ resume just to get some internship job.
Crazy

@B T you mean when white since companies have racist practices against white people specifically written into every job description.
Its crazy🤦♀️
Gonna start an OF.
I wish I was born 15-20 years earlier.... So I wouldn't have to deal with this ats bs

Me too
I've read if you want to be certain ATS can read your resume, copy and paste into Notepad and if you can read it all, it can as well.
Robert − Just learned about ATS a month ago and I′ve found that method to work best. Good of you to share, because one can never tell unless you′re specifically told ... or you get the job I suppose, at which time you no longer really care.

thanks for the tips. let me try, I wish new year 2023 will be my lucky year.

I use Corel Draw to create my resume. Then I convert it to PDF. Will this be read by the ATS?

Hey, very useful video, thank you
I have a doubt, the tables with no borders on pdf , will it be rejected by the ATS?
Does the ATS tells the recruiter what % is picked up CV matches or what are the words matching
Thank you very much ❤
wow you explained amazing.
Easy, just copy word for word the job listing and lie on the resume. Screw ATS robots.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Have you tailored your resume for applicant tracking systems? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm seriously wanting to sue. Nobody could possibly imagine the difference between my resume and what this rediculous software spits out.

In theory, but what is happening is its rejecting qualified applicants as a result of how employers enter their specs. Also do you know this software can be used to discriminate?
Do all ATS do the AI CV scanning?

Its a form of hiring discrimination which is against the law in the USA.

ATS is only useful for limited and technical jobs but not for all.
Faking a resume is never okay though, so many people say to do so.
This video is informative but you could have used images to better illustrate what you were talking about and make it more engaging.
Danke!
Fine with AtS but the AH reading keeps asking local experience for a 10 yr candidate.. That's worse..
thank you mam
Hate this system. Not sure who came up with the foolishness.

3:21 Don't try to be creative !!!!! Really MAM DO NOT ? WHY BECAUSE OF APP NOT HUMAN ? THAT IS WORST THING TO SAY FOR AN EMPLOYEE.
This ATS is total crap. Companies can scan more resumes because now more people apply. It's a waste of time for everyone
SUPER mem
So a person would literally be lying on parts of their resume

Hi i am confused about lenth of resume. What is difference between one page and two page resume. Which one is better
One page is better for early career, if you have two pages you should have many years of experience
