How to Beat the Online Application System [INFOGRAPHIC]

How to Beat the Online Application System [INFOGRAPHIC] One of the most common  frustrations  I hear  from job seekers, struggling in  the job search, is that of online job boards and uncertainty as to where exactly they are sending their resumes.  Im not referring to email applications,  but rather the built-in technology many companies are turning to, to handle their hiring process in place of humans. If youve ever applied for a job  using a companys website, consisting of filling in question/answer fields and uploading your resume at some point, youve probably encountered this technology (and feeling of frustration). Hiring via online job boards and application technology has become industry standard.  For the job seeker, this means potentially getting lost in an application black hole before your resume even has a fighting chance! Therefore a smart job seeker today has to be aware of the technology that exists as well as robot-friendly ways around it. This infographic by HireRite does a marvelous job of explaining everything (including some fascinating numbers)!  I just had to share: So there you have it.  The next time you find yourself in an online application situation, be sure your resume is ATS-ready so you can make it to the hiring manager inbox!
