Over 70% of applications are rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before they reach human eyes.
The importance of ATS
Most companies today use ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software to filter applications. This means your CV must tick the right boxes to get noticed!
Our top tips to get your CV noticed:
Tip #1 Use keywords wisely
Match your skills and experience to the job description. Include specific keywords, but avoid overloading—balance is key!
Tip #2 Keep formatting simple
ATS systems struggle with complex layouts, images, and tables. Stick to clean, structured formatting to ensure your CV is readable.
Tip #3 Prioritise relevant experience
List your most relevant roles and accomplishments first, aligning them with the position you’re targeting.
Tip #4 Tailor for each role
Customising your CV for each role you apply to can improve your chances of passing through ATS. Show how your experience meets the company’s needs.
