Careers Advantage Resumes Are Designed to Help You Successfully Navigate Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
If you’re unfamiliar with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), you’re not alone. Many job seekers may not realize that their resumes could be screened out by computer algorithms before reaching a hiring manager, even if they are highly qualified for the job.
What is an Applicant Tracking System?
An ATS is computer software used by human resource departments to manage the influx of job applications. It performs several key functions:
- Stores candidate information, including resumes, cover letters, and references.
- Tracks candidates and their application status throughout the hiring process.
- Automates tasks such as screening applicants, reading resumes, scheduling interviews, and sending notifications.
How Do Applicant Tracking Systems Actually Work?
✓ Submission and Knockout Questions:
- When you submit your application, it enters the ATS database, often preceded by knockout questions, designed to filter out applicants.
- Answering knockout questions unsatisfactorily may result in your resume being flagged or automatically rejected.
✓ Resume Parsing:
- The ATS scans and parses your resume, converting it into a structured format.
- This information is stored in the ATS tracking database of the hiring company.
✓ Keyword Searches by Hiring Managers:
- Hiring managers use keywords to search for candidates in the ATS database.
- Keywords can be job titles or skills, and resumes containing these keywords appear in search results.
For job seekers, it’s crucial to understand that ATS enables employers to filter resumes based on keywords. This is important to hiring managers since they typically receive hundreds of resumes for any given job opening. Our team of job search experts can show you exactly how to use the ATS tracking systems to your advantage!
What is a Resume Score and How Can You Increase It?
✓ Resume Scoring:
- Some ATS systems score resumes based on their alignment with the job description.
- The score considers your overall resume, including work experience, skills, and education.
✓ Increasing Your ATS Score:
- Read the job description and highlight frequently appearing keywords, especially hard skills.
- Incorporate these keywords into your resume to enhance its searchability.

The objective is to thoughtfully integrate the crucial elements of the job description, tailoring your resume to align with the specific requirements of the position.
