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. In fact, research shows that up to 75% of resumes are filtered out by ATS before reaching a recruiter. That means your meticulously crafted resume could be rejected by a machine before you even get a chance to prove your worth. The good news? With a few strategic tweaks, you can dramatically increase your odds of making it past the ATS and into the interview room.
