When Good Hiring Practices Go Bad

Believe it or not, more than 98% of the Fortune 500 companies use an ATS (applicant tracking system) to conduct an initial screening of resumes. Yup, biggies like Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, etc., are all fans of the ATS.

What does that mean for the job seekers out there? First, it means that a software is in charge of filtering and parsing through hundreds if not thousands of resumes to save the recruiting team some time. And, then there’s the fact that the ATS will employ various algorithms to generate results.
