Applicant Tracking System

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a software solution that streamlines the hiring process by centralizing job and applicant data. It automates key tasks such as job postings, resume screening, and interview scheduling.

What does an ATS detect?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) scans resumes to detect:

• Keywords matching the job description
• Skills and qualifications
• Work experience and job titles
• Education details
• Resume formatting and structure

Its goal is to quickly filter out unqualified applicants and rank top candidates based on relevance—so using clear formatting and tailored keywords helps your resume get noticed.
