What is an ATS and Why Does It Matter?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. Over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS, and it's estimated that 75% of resumes are rejected by ATS before reaching a recruiter.
For CS and IT students applying to internships and entry-level positions, passing the ATS is the first critical hurdle. Our resume builder ensures your resume uses the right format, keywords, and structure to pass these automated filters.
5 Things ATS Systems Check
Resume Tips for Tech Students
- Lead with projects if you lack work experience. Recruiters value demonstrated skills.
- Use specific technologies -- write "React, Node.js, PostgreSQL" not "web development".
- Quantify everything -- "Reduced API response time by 40%" beats "Improved performance".
- Start bullets with action verbs -- Developed, Implemented, Designed, Architected, Deployed.
- Keep it to 1 page as a student. Two pages only with 5+ years of experience.
- Include GitHub and LinkedIn -- recruiters check these for every tech role.
