Understanding an Applicant Tracking System 

This is Amazing. Now I understood why some good and well experienced candidates are missing their opportunity,

This seems wonderful to many people but it makes me sick that good people are "filtered" due to lack of keywords. Good grief.

Well that is lovely that the recruiter managing the ATS an see which phrases and keywords are missing, but the job seeker can't, so we have to hope that even by using exact keywords and phrasing based on job description that we stand a chance.

Terrible that we have to use a computer to see if someone is qualified for a job, its a sign of the times. All well, at least the company that is shown "Preptel" went under about 2 years after this video was posted! SO THERES THAT! :)

I have just started looking for a job. This is a great opener to help me improve my chances to get interviewed for the positions I am applying ....thanks!

Thank you so much for your information. After I listened to your video, I now know why I have not gotten a response to some applications I have put in for over the Internet Thanks so much

Thanks so much for your useful tips. You made a great video!

I'm going to call my congress person about this ATS scam. Holy crap, all the US's unemployed are tied up playing this computer game!

Thank you so much for sharing a great video!

Nice explanation. Thank you

they should change the name of human resources to scan CV department, the bureaucracy really stinks

There are pros and cons to everything and unfortuantely this software may help recruiters sift through resumes faster, but makes some of them lazy. These same recruiters will use this information to say that there is a shortage in qualified candidates - Wow! Employment or no employment at the click of a button, how convenient.

this should go viral

I think it just goes to show the ever widening class gap, which we are told is wealth, when in fact it is knowledge and learning.

what happens to the presentation/motivation letters?

I am not able to go to their website. #JonCampi Can you please give us an update if this company still exists..

why reject a person application or resume and cover letter simple because what is on the paper.???

where to find the keywords to beat the applicant tracking system

people seeing this who aren't recruiters would be scared seeing this video. Not all companies use taleo and most recruiters will go trough many if not all of the resumes submitted.

What do you do when you are self employed, doing terrible, looking for work and your last employement is over 2.5 years ago? I would assume that this "Tracking" software would immediately put me to the bottom of the list of candidate matches because of the employement history. If this system is employed by the majority of companies, I will ALWAYS be put at the bottom. I'm not getting call backs from the likes of target, walmart and circle k. This "technology" has caused a HUGE problem for job seekers like myself. So, is self employment seen by hiring managers as "Might as well be unemployed"? Or "This guy won't be a yes man because he was independent". I'm getting frustrated trying to get hired and my moral compass is being crushed under the weight of ever increasing debt. What "background" verification is taking place in the background? What if you put you worked at a roach coach selling food and got a friend to verify it via phone contact? It's impossible to find the worst jobs for some of us out here.

Greg Common with all his education and experience gets filtered out, basically into the cyberspace trash bucket because a computer program didn't read his resume right. It's not that he's wrong, it's that the program is trash. Sad that so many people are getting passed over for jobs because they used the wrong tense on their resume. No wonder unemployment is so high.

#JohnCampi what a mathematical model or theory stands behind all ATS ?

That was great. It was helpful, simple, and to the point.

It makes no sense to me that the example in this video, a graduate from Harvard of all prestigious places as that, who has done work during his time there that make him a good match for the job for which he was applying, ranked so low, and was thus rejected by the recruiter or hiring manager simply over a lack of the exact and proper KEYWORDS in his resume. So WHAT, then? Does a job applicant have to check each job listing and write a whole new resume to match the keywords in each and every job posting, JUST to be SEEN, nevermind considered for a job? This vid clearly appeals to employers .. but woe betide the job seeker when this modern new Master Control Program throws them out with the rest of the digital trash. If the job seeker has only their resume, he or she hardly stands a chance ....

If this catches on and everybody uses preptel, then good candidates and bad candidates will all be at the top of the ranking system and we're back where we started: good candidates being missed by employers. Want to know how to fix this? Throw out these stupid Orwellian "Applicant Tracking System" and treat people like people again.

The company appears to have died. Kind of makes you wonder why companies even hire recruiters anymore. This software makes them pretty much obsolete by serving as a screener for the screeners.

Application tracking systems are very important for hiring process. Here are some of the best ATS in the industry to choose from: www.softwaresuggest.com/applicant-tracking-system
