We recently talked about Applicant Tracking Systems in a post and many nannies asked us what it was?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a software that helps companies manage the recruitment process.
Nanny agencies are flooded with resumes and can’t go through them all, so they use ATS to help them sort through all these CVs and save them time.
Many nanny agencies use these ATS to manage job applications, and these systems can be tough to navigate.
ATS scan resumes for specific keywords related to the job description. If your resume doesn’t match the job description enough and doesn’t include enough of these keywords, it might never get seen by a human recruiter.
Often, if you’re ghosted, rejected, and don’t get any interviews, it’s because your resume isn’t optimized for these ATS.
Tailoring your resume for each job and including relevant keywords from the job description can help you get past these systems, so instead of sending mass unsuitable applications : read the job descriptions carefully, apply only if you genuinely meet all the requirements and tailor your resume to each job application!
