ATS stands for "Applicant Tracking System". Applicant Tracking Systems are software used by companies to scan candidates' CVs and resumes. Also known as ATS, Applicant Tracking Systems are used by HR departments to make the first selection of applicants, based on the keywords used to describe their profile, professional experience, skills, and academic background. An ATS-optimized CV is thus of crucial importance if you wish to pass the first selection round upon applying for a position. Based on the description of the job you're aiming for, our team of professional CV writers ensures your CV contains the right keywords and relevant experience to ensure the ATS "robot" considers your profile interesting enough to be sent to the recruiter.

Your CV needs to be tailored to job descriptions for two major reasons: To signal the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that your profile is relevant for the vacancy To present recruiters and HR managers with your most relevant skills, experience, and academic background To give a concrete example: if you have experience both in event planning and digital marketing, and are applying for an event planning position, it is essential for you to highlight your event planning skills and achievements in a stronger manner. We help you in this process by helping you identify your achievements, and skills put to use in your event planning career to ensure HR managers looking at your CV get the information they are seeking and most relevant for them. Upon identifying these key elements, we then present them in your CV, in the best possible way.
