Why I Built Smart ATS Résumé
The Problem Over 90% of companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse to screen resumes before a human ever sees them. Studies show up to 75% of resumes are auto-rejectedânot because candidates aren't qualified, but because their resumes aren't formatted or keyword-optimized for the software. Applicants are left confused and discouraged, never knowing why...
