CVs for ATS or 10 lines that can change your life!


For obvious reasons – time and money savings – more and more companies switch to automated CV processing and candidate ranking – the so-called ATS – Applicant Tracking Systems where everything is one place. But not only that, according to Vervoe.com [in the US] “some AI tools have reported a 20-100% increase in gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity of hires.” That also applies to recruitment processes for experienced managers and executives!

Currently, the most commonly used ATS within the Fortune 500 companies are: Taleo, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, IBM Kenexa BrassRing, ICIMS, ADP (Source: JobScan.co)

How do you know which ATS is being used? Look at the link of the database of the job ad you are uploading your CV to; it could read “https://3m.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Search/….”

First off: why is using the tag line in that way not a good idea?
In short: there’s no recruiter on this planet who opens LinkedIn with their morning coffee thinking to themselves, “Let’s find candidates who are looking for a job“, or “I’ll search for candidates who are looking for a job and see if I can match recruitment projects with them.”.
