What Is an ATS?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to collect, scan, and rank job applications. Before a human ever sees your resume, it passes through this automated filter. If your resume isn’t formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it may be rejected automatically—even if you’re qualified.
