    What is an ATS CV?

    Applicant Tracking System or "ATS", is the software that 'READS' your CV and stores this information in a database. Like this:

    Applicant Tracking System Correct Parsing

    If the CV is not made as per the RULES of the ATS, the information will get messed up in the database. In the image below, 'PMP' has gone into the 'Mobile Number' column. The Mobile Number '052 1234567' has gone into the 'Main Skill' column.

    Applicant Tracking System Incorrect Parsing

    So a recruiter searching for a candidate with PMP certification, will never find this person, in spite of his 'CV information' existing in the database...

    ...And, he will wonder why he gets rejected in spite of being a PERFECT MATCH for the Job.
