What is ATS?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software that HR departments at companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Amazon, and Flipkart use to automatically scan and filter resumes. If your resume doesn't pass these filters, it gets rejected before a recruiter ever sees it.

• ATS reads resumes as plain text — visual design doesn't matter.
• Tables, columns and special symbols break ATS parsing.
• Keywords from the job description must appear in your resume.
• After passing ATS filters, a human recruiter reviews your resume.

5 Golden Rules for an ATS-Friendly Resume

1. Read the job description carefully and mirror key terms in your resume.
2. Use a single-column layout — avoid tables, sidebars, and graphics.
3. Start each experience bullet with an action verb (managed, developed, created, led).
4. Use standard section headings (Work Experience, Education, Skills).
5. Save as PDF — ATS reads PDF and Word files best.
