An ATS works by receiving job applications through various channels such as career websites, job boards, and email. The system then parses the resumes and stores the information in a searchable database. Key functionalities include:
1. Resume Parsing: Extracting relevant information like skills, experience, and education from resumes. 2. Keyword Matching: Matching candidate profiles with job descriptions using keywords. 3. Automated Screening: Filtering out unqualified candidates based on predefined criteria. 4. Interview Scheduling: Coordinating interview times automatically. 5. Communication: Sending automated emails to candidates regarding their application status.
