This helps HR strain out unqualified candidates from a bulk of applications and move forward only with the ones who match their job requirements.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today, an Applicant Tracking System is increasingly being used by HR professionals to automate the manual workload gone into recruitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hence, it\u2019s inevitable to plug in the keywords from the JD so that the ATS can catch your resume and you land an interview.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"11e1\"><strong>Now, we need to deconstruct 5 different ways in which your resume can stand out among a pool of equally eligible candidates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"91b0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/superset-blog\/5-ways-to-get-your-resume-recognised-by-recruiters-db0f17d81921#ce72\"><strong>1.

Keep the format clean, simple and keyword-friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"bc5c\">You need to ensure your resume is short and relevant to the job that you\u2019re seeking. Not everything you\u2019ve done in your life is worth highlighting in the resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/1400\/1*PEEF3ZJ-wAC2-QJnSzNZPQ.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tailor it according to the JD<\/strong>, and use the skills the employer is looking for.

Demonstrate your skills and quantify them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Let your skills do the talking,<\/strong>&nbsp;but make sure you substantiate them using numbers. A human is more likely to believe in numbers than just boastful sentences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This tactic will also help you rank higher in an ATS. Here are a couple of examples that will help you implement this better:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/max\/1400\/1*-c3ApqvPilNdxTn92LsuoQ.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>A few ways in which you can quantify your past achievements.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"b1a4\"><strong>4. Spell-check and watch for grammatical errors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It can be very irksome to review a haphazardly created resume with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. This can turn off your recruiter, no matter what the job role is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tools like Grammarly, Wordtune, and Hemmingway can help you proofread it better.&nbsp;<\/strong>Import your bullet points into the platform and it shall give you alternatives to improve your sentences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"c9cb\"><strong>5. Include References<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>References play an important role in substantiating your skills by letting a senior\/colleague speak about you to the recruiter.&nbsp;<strong>It helps you validate your candidature in front of the recruiter and provides transparency.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You can also ask your ex-colleagues or managers to put a detailed reference on LinkedIn and hyperlink your profile to the References section of your resume. This will make your profile more prominent than others.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"a20a\">With automation paving its way into the world at lightning speed, companies are candidate-shopping differently. They are letting ATS filter their applicants and parse resumes using the keyword algorithm. Not only that, universities are increasingly moving towards digital campus placements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"20f5\">In both cases, the commonality is customizing your profile AI\u2019s way.
