ATS Myths..
A lot of people think the ATS is what’s stopping them getting interviews.
It isn’t.
And the whole idea of a ‘universal ATS’ score is mostly nonsense too..
There are hundreds of Applicant Tracking Systems out there.
They all work differently.
They’re all configured differently.
And every company uses them in their own way.
So how can some random website tell you what your CV’s ATS score is?
It can’t.
Those scores exist to make you think something is broken…so they can sell you the fix.
Yes, some ATS platforms rank candidates.
But that ranking is only against the specific job description you applied for.
Even then, most good recruiters know the scoring is flawed.
And here’s the other thing people forget.
ATS systems have been around since the mid-90s.
They’re not new.
You didn’t have to “beat them” then.
You don’t have to beat them now.
Because there’s nothing to beat.
Most automatic rejections happen because of screening questions in the application form, not your CV.
So don’t write your CV trying to impress a robot.
Write it for the human who’s actually going to read it.
