What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) & How to Pass It?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is recruitment software that automates the collection, sorting, and scoring of job applications for human resources teams.

Key Rules for ATS Compliance:

  • Maintain a clean, linear single-column layout for reliable parser chronological indexing.
  • Incorporate exact keywords from the target job posting naturally into your summary and skills.
  • Export in certified text-based PDF or Word formats without unreadable visual embeds.
