Our number one goal is simple: we want your resume to work. It has to get into the hands of the people who are doing the hiring, and it has to impress. In order to get you in for an interview we have to first turn your resume into a key to unlock the ATS door, then make sure that it stands out and shines for the recruiters.
Today’s employers receive thousands of applications to their job openings, so they use software to help them filter out resumes that don’t fit their needs. These Applicant Tracking Software systems, or ATS, are programmed to search for keywords and elements and to reject those that don’t have them. They also filter out those that have the very things that make an applicant stand out from the crowd. Which resumes make it through? The ones that have no color, no design elements, no life. This is a resume that a typical Applicant Tracking Systems, aka ATS, thinks is perfect.
With thousands of resumes pouring in, it’s no wonder that a study conducted by The Ladders showed that, even with the ATS systems, the average time a recruiter spends looking at a resume is just 6 seconds. That means that six seconds is all the time you have to grab their attention and make an impact. That’s why it’s so important that your resume looks great, stands out, and shows why you’re an applicant worth interviewing. We help you do that by adding design elements with personality and professionalism. We include photos, color, carefully-crafted formatting and more.
The end result is a resume that is remarkable, especially when compared to the bland versions that today’s job seekers have to settle for to get past the computer filtering systems. Imagine how memorable and eye-catching your visually beautiful resume will be when compared to the others that have been stripped down to get past the ATS systems. We make that happen.
