ATSs Are More Dysfunctional For Your Job Search, But More Efficient For Employers

Do you think Applicant Tracking Systems make your job search easier?

Unfortunately, the pre-screening databases employers use to pre-screen resumes aren't intended to make your job search easy ... they are intended to make hiring more efficient for employers.

When employers ask you to fill out a detailed application that essentially repeats your resume, that's because they care how efficient your repetitive work makes their hiring process, even when it's totally dysfunction from your point of view.

When employers don't post current needs in job descriptions (they almost never do), it's easier just to post the last person's job description, but that leaves you flying blind, applying based on outdated needs.

And when ATSs don't recognize common meanings or synonyms, that screen you out when you're qualified, it's because it's not efficient to read at every qualified resume. This causes you to lose opportunities every day, just because you've chosen slightly different words than search criteria.

Many job seekers think JobScan is the answer, except that JobScan has one major flaw ... its input is a job description. And since job descriptions are almost always recycled, generic or written 1+ years ago, JobScan returns keywords that won't reflect current hiring manager needs.

What if you could make ATSs work for you, rather than against you (but work against your competitors)? Better yet, what if you could bypass Applicant Tracking Systems completely?

You don't have to ask what if ... during my next free webinar, you can learn how to make ATSs work for you, while they're working against everyone else, and how to bypass ATS prescreening. During my next free Resume Webinar: Beating The Applicant Tracking System - Getting Noticed By Employers, Not Lost, I'll show you what to change in your resume/job search strategies to get through and around Applicant Tracking Systems, based on actual employer hiring processes.

I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including job search acceleration, getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
