The importance of a targeted resume

Recruiters and resume screening software (ATS) are looking for specific keywords on your resume. Recruiters and hiring managers spend an average of six seconds on each resume. They obviously don't read your resume. They skim it quickly for keywords to evaluate if you're a good fit. Here's a simple example: if you're applying for a 'Java Developer' job, recruiters are going to make sure you have "Java" experience by quickly scanning your resume for the keyword 'Java'. If your resume contains the right keywords that were in the job description, it implies it is a well targeted resume.

Similarly, pretty much every company uses some kind of resume screening software, called Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), to quickly filter and rank the thousands of applicants that apply to each job. These software rank your resume based on its relevancy to the job description. Our platform helps you identify the right ATS keywords you need to include on your resume to increase your resume's relevancy and get past these systems. The higher your resume's relevancy, the more your resume is well targeted to the job description.
