This video was recorded during one of the 16 webinars we produced earlier this year that attracted over 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously sent us feedback like this one: “I particularly liked the module about CVs; even though my CV was in quite a good shape (at least I thought so), after the webinars I made a lot of adjustments, e.g. removed two columns and completely reworked my profile summary.” (Manager)

Career Angels tracks changes on the job market. One of them is increased use of ATS.

Career Angels tracks trends & changes on the job market. One of them is the increased use of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). According to TopResume, 75% of CVs are never seen by a recruiter. Landing a job via a job ad (with ATS) has worked for 18% of our clients – experienced managers & executives! 5 years ago that number was 0%!

Having a CV that is legible by programs are crucial. That’s why we studied the most popular ATS and figured out how to “hack them”.

Is your CV ATS-friendly? Send us your CV for a free review and you’ll receive an “ATS CV Compliance Report”. Email: Bichl.Sandra@CareerAngels.eu. Subject: ATS Report

If you are an experienced manager or executive who wants to manage their career and/or job search processes wisely, look at the signals of the job market which are inseparably embedded in the VUCA landscape of today’s world.

Before there are trends, there are signals which we usually keep to ourselves. But these are not usual times, so we decided to share those market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.
