The job market can feel like a maze, especially with the rise of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). But fear not! In the following presentation INSIDE THE RECRUITING BLACK BOX WITH HATU KANU OF RIOT GAMES Jeremy and Hatu discuss mastering these systems and leveraging LinkedIn effectively to significantly boost your job search success. Here’s an overview of what they suggest to give employers (and their ATS) exactly what they’re looking for:
- ATS Optimization – Keywords are King: Tailor your resume and application materials to mirror the specific keywords used in the job description. This helps your application get past the ATS filters and into the hands of a human recruiter.
- LinkedIn as Your Digital Portfolio: Use LinkedIn to showcase your skills and experience beyond your resume. A well-crafted profile acts as a dynamic portfolio, allowing recruiters to see your accomplishments and connect with you directly.
- Networking for the Inside Track: LinkedIn makes it easy to connect with hiring managers and employees at companies you’re interested in. Building these connections can provide valuable insights and potentially lead to job opportunities.
