- 13. With the jobless rate at such a high level, the amount of people applying for a particular job online Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 14. Has at times gone from hundreds Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 15. To thousands! Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 16. The Second is Applicant Tracking Systems . Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 17. To handle this huge amount of applicants, more and more companies are using applicant tracking systems. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 18. With so many people applying for jobs online, applicant tracking systems screen candidates by criteria before anyone ever physically sees their resume. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 19. Lets say you are applying for 100 jobs & sending out 100 resumes. For the purpose of demonstration, lets say 100 resumes were sent to one company. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 20. Those 100 resumes go into an applicant tracking system that immediately screens out 50% of them based on keywords & other criteria not necessarily spelled out in the job spec. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 21. Those 50 remaining resumes are then reviewed by the 18 year old HR generalist right out of college. Lets call her Ashley. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 22. Now 25 of those resumes are sent to the hiring manager and he picks 5 that hes interested in and seem relevant, and sets up 5 phone screens with the candidates. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
- 23. From those 5 phone interviews one is selected to come in for a face to face interview. Content copyright 2013. Executive Careercoaching. All rights reserved.
