Looking to dominate the Applicant Tracking System to get that first step in the door with a potential employer?

Given the ever-changing working environment, specialty jobs, global presence, remote technology, etc., companies are taking the human out of human resources when fielding applicants.

Here’s why:

  • One Recruiter works on an average of 20 requisitions – tops – at a time and can receive up to 1,000 applications per job ad. Of course, this depends on the job.

  • If you do the math, 1 Recruiter X 20 requisitions X 1,000 applications = 20,000 resumes to look at. This is quite a number and there is no way a human being can look at 20,000 resumes.

Many years ago, an ad would be put in the paper, or listed on a website, etc., loads of mailbags full of resumes would be mailed to the Recruiter. The fax machine would go non-stop as well as emails. Hundreds of resumes come in and it was impossible to look at all of them. When 10 – 15 good viable candidates were determined, the rest of the resumes would not be opened or looked at.

When companies starting using Applicant Tracking Systems, every application was considered, and the top 25 resumes rose to the top quickly and efficiently. These resumes, once they pass the first gate, are graded and given percentages for prioritization. So, basically speaking, you have a much better chance today of being selected than the days of pre-Applicant Tracking Systems.

I know, I find this hard to believe as I have been on the “thanks but no thanks” side of the Applicant Tracking Systems system many times. However, when you put yourself in the Recruiter's shoes, the Applicant Tracking Systems system makes the most sense.

This masterclass for dominating the Applicant Tracking System will help you learn how to market your persona brand to be lucrative in the market. The importance of leveraging the Applicant Tracking System dynamics to increase your global recognition cannot be overstated enough. Today, more than ever, it’s critical for you to stand out so you may get past the computer and in the door of the employer in the job market.

After years of facing rejection its time for me to move a head in my career path. This course gives me the push I need to keep on moving. Thank you for making this course.

By Rebecca Miller on 11/20/2022

Paul delivers an excellent and PRACTICAL course. Most importantly, I learned that my current resume was not ATS formatted. YIKES. I learned more in Paul's 40-minute class than I did "googling" for the past two days.

By Sandra Weber Lewis on 4/15/2021

Gave me a much better understanding on how the ATS system works

By Peter Nurman on 3/9/2021

The majority of the information presented was covered with me through HR at most of the schools that I had attended. New information such as tagcrowd.com and jobscan.co as well as the list of ATS types and the purpose of Kickout questions were a good reminder.
