Dear Jobseeker

Have you asked yourself why you keep on applying for jobs online and you keep on getting rejection letter on your emails. There is a simply explaination why you keep on getting rejection letters. Due to the high amount of applicants recruiters get when they put out a job advert, they have develop a robot called Applicants Tracking Systems to help them reduce the number of applicants to a small manageable number.

The ATS robot perform this applicants reduction task by comparing your CV to the job description of the role you are applying for. The ATS robot will then give you a score out of 100%, 100% meaning complete match of the job description and 0% meaning not compatible to the job description. On average, your CV needs to score 75% or above for your CV to be passed to the next phase of being reviewed by the HR Personnel. All CVs that score less than 75% will be rejected and associated applicants automatically sent rejection letters.
