To cut the amount of work involved in the screening process, many companies today employ use specialized software and automated systems called Application Tracking Systems to screen thousands of job applications and only shortlist a few for the next stage based on a set criteria.

Here are a few tips to make it through the Robocruitment process:

Try to incorporate Keywords used in the Job listing/advert and any related terms as the screening software will be using exactly those to look for potential candidates
Try to add the full word for any acronyms
Try to avoid any charts or tables and stick to text only as the robot reading will only parse text
Add appropriate labels/headings
Keep your application simple and easy to read

Keep it Simple

The next time you apply somewhere, focus on the simplicity and relevance of your job application and the robot reading your application will appreciate it!
