Applicant tracking system software encompasses a range of tools that streamline multiple aspects of the recruitment and hiring process. The primary purpose of such a system is to efficiently store and oversee the resumes received in response to job advertisements.
Every company or site providing resume services has their own unique ATS checking tools. However, these tools often have a primary purpose of discrediting other resume builder sites and convincing users to choose their own platform.
The key factor in creating an ATS-friendly resume in PDF or any other format is ensuring that the text within the resume is easily readable. The resume must refrain from including information that is repetitive, irrelevant, or vague, and it should also use the passive voice.
The PDF version of the resume, which can be downloaded from the shared resume page, is a high-quality image PDF suitable for online sharing with potential employers.
The printed version of the resume available on the shared resume page can be saved as a PDF through your web browser and can be read as text.
It is worth mentioning that the compatibility with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) may differ depending on the tools used by each company.
Worth noting, if you are specifically requested to upload an ATS compatible PDF resume, we suggest using the printed PDF version of your resume that is compatible with these tools.
Our software allows the export of the resume in a plain text format. This will provide users with a convenient text format of their resume that can be easily loaded onto proprietary ATS systems.
