Get an HR professional's take on the Applicant Tracking System after you send in your resume.

The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is like gravity - people know what it is but few people truly understand how it works.

Essentially, an ATS is a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment needs and can be implemented or accessed online at enterprise- or small-business levels, depending on the needs of the organization; free and open-source ATS software is also available.

Or most job seekers will know ATS as...

"That stupid computer system that always throws out my resume and doesn't get it in front of the hiring manager!"

How can you get your resume to 'pass' the ATS?

How can you 'beat the system?'

What can you do to have the best chances to have the hiring person see your resume?

But really, it's not bad.

Join us as Sharon Blaskovits, Senior HR Advisor at Husky Energy, will be talking to us about the ATS and trying to debunk some of the myths and stereotypes that we have about its role in our application process.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: People who want to understand the ATS better, people who apply to companies with ATS or mostly to large companies,
