Our number one goal is simple: we want your resume to work. It has to get into the hands of the people who are doing the hiring, and it has to impress. In order to get you in for an interview, we have to first turn your resume into a key to unlocking the ATS door, then make sure that it stands out and shines for the recruiters.
Today’s employers receive thousands of applications for their job openings, so they use software to help them filter out resumes that don’t fit their needs. These applicant tracking software systems, or ATS, are programmed to search for keywords and elements and reject those that don’t have them. They also filter out those that have the very things that make an applicant stand out from the crowd. Which resumes make it through? The ones that have no color, no design elements, no life This is a resume that a typical applicant tracking system, aka ATS, thinks is perfect.
What gets through looks pretty sad, and won’t impress a hiring managerThe challenge is to make your resume ATS-compatible and find a way to get an attractive, professional-looking resume through the system. And we’ve found it. We’ve developed our own proprietary technology and patented a process that turns two resumes—one for the ATS system and one for the humans you want to impress—into one. How do we do that? First, we address the needs of the applicant tracking system. We strip out all of the things that it doesn’t like and replace them with the acceptable fonts, formatting, tags, and headers that the system is programmed to allow through. Our ATS-compliant resume technology has been thoroughly tested. When we sent resumes that had gone through our process through the over 50 ATS systems that are used by 95% of companies, all of them made it through and got into the hands of the hiring managers.
With thousands of resumes pouring in, it’s no wonder that a study conducted by The Ladders showed that, even with the ATS systems, the average time a recruiter spends looking at a resume is just 6 seconds. That means that six seconds is all you have to grab their attention and make an impact. That’s why it’s so important that your resume looks great, stands out, and shows why you’re an applicant worth interviewing. We help you do that by adding design elements with personality and professionalism. We include photos, color, carefully crafted formatting, and more. The end result is a resume that is remarkable, especially when compared to the bland versions that today’s job seekers have to settle for to get past the computer filtering systems. Imagine how memorable and eye-catching your visually beautiful resume will be when compared to the others that have been stripped down to get past the ATS systems. We make that happen.
