Conflict: How ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) Reject 70% of Resumes?<\/h2>\n

Reasons why ATS are Most Resumes Automatically Rejected
\nFirstly, Applicant Tracking Systems broadly do a filter job, sifting through resumes, and only passing those that meet criteria on to the human recruiter. What follows are the main reasons for such a high rejection rate of resumes in India due to ATS systems:<\/p>\n

Formatting of Resume -By formatting resumes with tables, text boxes, graphics, and complex templates confuse.
\nOmitting<\/strong> Specific Keywords from Job Description If your resume lacks the exact words of the skills that are in the job description then the system will treat you as non-relevant<\/p>\n

Insert Images, Logos, or Icons the ATS does not understand images and thus it may omit the pieces of information that are in them
\nWrong File Type -There are some ATS that do not properly read PDF formats .DOCX format is still the most preferred by many systems Not tailoring for each job role<\/strong> Utilization of one generic resume for all job applications will result in scan out in the quickest manner Excessive Fancy Design -If you have less content and more decoration that will negatively impact your ATS ranking
\nWeak Headlines -Resumes without explicit profile titles are considered less relevant.<\/p>\n

Outcome:<\/h3>\n

This is the very reason that qualified candidates could be getting rejected before they receive their chance.<\/p>\n

Simply put:<\/h3>\n

If the ATS does not favor your resume a recruiter will never get to see it and hence, the interview call will not be made.<\/p>\n
