Worried About The ATS?

Worried about the ATS?

Let’s get something straight.

You’ve probably heard:

“If your résumé isn’t formatted perfectly, the ATS will delete you.”

“If you don’t use the right keywords, the bots will reject you.”

“If you apply online and don’t hear back, it’s the system’s fault.”

🚨 Here are 5 things to do when you're worried about the ATS during your job search: 👇

1. Stop believing the ATS myth.
There’s no AI overlord scanning résumés with laser eyes.

No universal algorithm. No master filter.

Companies use different systems...

...and most of them?

Just glorified spreadsheets.

Yes, software exists.

Humans still hire humans.

💻 2. Don’t write for bots — write for people.
You can stuff in keywords all day...

If it’s hard to read, it’s game over.

Tricks don’t build trust.

Clarity converts.

Make your résumé make someone curious to meet you 👀.

🔄 3. Let them play the game — you skip the line.
While others obsess over résumé formatting...

You go find a name.

Look up the hiring manager. DM someone on the team.

Start a real conversation.

People get hired. Portals get crowded.

👣 4. Leave human footprints.
In a sea of autofill and AI-generated sludge...
being real is rare.

Send a Loom 🎥.

Write a human message ✍️.

Sound like you, not ChatGPT.

The bots won’t notice.
The humans will.

🚪 5. Use the front door - and the side door.
Yes, apply online ✅.
Then go knock 🛎️.

Send the résumé and the message.

Follow up.

Make it personal.

Your job search deserves more than “submit and hope.”

It deserves strategy.

TL;DR
You’re not in a robot war 🤖.

You’re in a trust game.

Let everyone else chase algorithms.

You go build relationships.
