Applicant tracking system (ATS)
The software a company uses to publish jobs and keep track of applications. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday are examples.
What to do about it
Write your resume as plain text in one column, with the posting’s own words: an ATS reads text, and recruiters search it by keyword.
