The internet has made applying for jobs so easy, that a job opening in a big city can receive as many as 1,000 applications or more within 24 hours, and the average job in almost any city receives at least 118 resumes by the time the job is closed.
For the average hiring manager, many of whom have other tasks to perform, that number is absurd. So to make life easier, many use an applicant tracking system, or “ATS.”
Follow the journey of a resume through the ATS (and get some great interview tips, as well!)
