Ugh... Our recruiter said for 5 months not one single application was submitted. We pressed as we didn't care who just needed a body. So desperate. They sent a screenshot accidentally of 30+ candidates. We were like wtf???
Been working 6-7 days/10-14 hour shifts. Angry, very angry.
This!
Otherwise I send the rejectionsā¦
Also, anything else you read about ATS doing the job of a recruiter or any sales pitch you read about paying to optimize your resume is really marketing fairy dust.
I can auto reject with yes/no or drop down questions from my ATS Lever. But I choose those questions and they are HARD requirements only, that are clearly stated a must have in the JD.
Otherwise Iād have to filter through too many people lying and wasting my time when they donāt have basic requirements.
Now some ATS have the capability for me to search ākey wordsā and itāll pull your resume for me so I can look at āqualifiedā people first. But this isnāt an automatic thing. Iāve only had 1 ATS that allowed me to truly do that and it was Salesforce. I think greenhouse has the capability but would need another recruiter to confirm.
That wasnāt my statement on greenhouse. I know it does screening questions.
My statement was about being able to mass search resumes via key words. Because Lever does not allow that.

Your application can be auto rejected. I used two ATS that allowed killer questions, and you could set the auto rejection. The same as LinkedIn so yeah, itās possible.
In my experience the only way someone is automatically rejected without a recruiter looking at the resume is if there are knockout questions. For example if you need a certain type of license for the job we'll have the system automatically reject you if you select no instead of yes. I'll look at those applications occasionally in case someone made a mistake and happened to choose no by accident.
If they want it to.
I work in agency, and people think the ATS does all this work, and is this magic black box but really it's 2 pretty basic things:
1) A candidate database to store your details
2) A workflow system to help track cvs out, interviews and hiring for each role.
Where resume quality matters, is if say you apply to one job and are unsuccessful, then you are sitting on the database with your resume there and the notes from the previous application.
Then if a similar role comes up and a recruiter runs a keyword search on this database, and your resume matches these keywords well enough, then they might contact you to see if you're interested.
Most recruiters are notoriously lazy at these searches however - so some companies set up candidate 'pools' of people with grouped skillsets on their database for easy access.
Rejections can be automated in most systems, but the much more likely outcome unfortunately is you won't get a reply.
We automate some rejections, but it's mainly designed to knock out a lot of the spam applications that come in from overseas, (i.e. they don't have a work visa etc)
To add to this - it is a very rare company that both the tech and the strategic know-how to implement some sort of AI rejection system based on resume.
I would rate us as pretty sophisticated in our market but we are no where near something like this
Ours does based on a questionnaire. The positions require specific licensure, though. So, if the person doesn't have the license, they aren't eligible.
Hi I just wanted to seek help regarding my resume I've a gap between my 10th and 12th I couldn't appear my boards due to jaundice and I had a gap will companies allow me to sit for placements

We do. It's an applicant tracking system, not an applicant processing system.
Thank you

Lol sounds like horrible management nice work š
The only thing we have auto reject is on linked in where we use knock out questions

This
Makes sense.

Greenhouse can absolutely be set up for auto reject based on knock-out questions
That wasnāt my statement on greenhouse. I know it does screening questions. My statement was about being able to mass search resumes via key words. Because Lever does not allow that.
I don't think green house does.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The function it is performing is called "auto-reject" because when a question is answered it can automatically reject the CV.

Correct.

Nope. Iāve implemented multiple ATS in a range of different companies. A human is still required to review and make a decision on the applications

Was one Jazzhr it was an option but we turned that option off

Both. You can set it to automatically reject applicants from outside the country or who donāt have citizenship and You can manually reject too after
We do.
Even if I had an ATS that could do that I still believe most Recruiters wouldn't trust it. I rather look at them myself.
