• Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a software designed to help companies manage their recruitment process. It automates the collection, screening, sorting, and analysis of large volumes of applicant data. According to a survey, over 98% of Fortune 500 companies and many smaller firms use ATS.
• When a candidate submits a resume, the ATS parses the document, extracts key information, and matches it against the job requirements. The system searches for keywords (such as specific skills, job titles, and company names) and assigns a score to the resume. The higher the score, the more likely it is that the hiring manager will see the resume.
