In modern hiring, your resume often meets software before it reaches a recruiter. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) parse and rank resumes using algorithms that scan for keywords, structure, and formatting alignment. According to 2024 data, 98.4% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS systems, meaning 492 out of 500 of these large corporations rely on automated tools for recruitment. ATS can significantly reduce hiring cycles, but may also filter out qualified candidates whose resumes aren't optimally formatted for machine parsing.

The goal isn't to "trick" the system but to present your qualifications in a format both machines and humans can understand.
