Most mid-size and large employers use an ATS. When you apply, your resume is read into the system as text, and recruiters often search or filter by skills and job titles.
What this means for you:
- use a simple layout that converts cleanly to text (see ATS-friendly resume)
- use the same words for skills and roles as the job description
- put your contact details in plain text, not in an image
On ByteJobs recruiters see your verified certificates and projects next to your application, not only the resume text.
