If you’re an actuary—or aspiring to become one—you already know the importance of precision, analysis, and attention to detail. But when it comes to landing your next role, there’s a gatekeeper you might not be thinking about enough: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS). These systems are used by nearly all large companies and many midsize firms to screen resumes before a human ever sees them.
