Question 1

What is an ATS and why does it matter for my resume?

Accepted Answer

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to scan and filter resumes before a human ever sees them. Over 90% of large companies use ATS. If your resume isn't optimized for these systems, it may never reach a hiring manager. SparkCV ensures your resume is ATS-friendly while remaining visually appealing.
