What is ATS (Applicant Tracking System)?

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software employers use to receive, parse, and filter job applications. Most mid-size and large employers use one, and many resumes are screened by ATS logic before any human sees them.

Examples

• Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and Taleo are common ATS platforms.
• An ATS parsing a PDF resume into structured fields.
• Keyword-based ranking that surfaces the top-matching applicants first.

Why this matters

ResumeWin scores your resume the way an ATS would, then rewrites weak sections so real humans actually see your application.
