What is ATS?
99% of Fortune 500 companies use software to evaluate your resume. It becomes the hidden barrier between you and your dream job, and it prevents up to 95% of job applications from ever crossing the hiring manager’s desk: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
ATS is a software system that analyzes multiple components of a job application and passes along only the most promising applications to the hiring manager. Employers use ATS technology because it allows them to receive and process thousands of applications in a very short amount of time. Because the ATS rejects candidates automatically, employees only have to evaluate the most qualified applicants.

Quinncia is an automated, always-available tool to help you develop a solid first draft of your resume before getting feedback from a career coach. Quinncia uses the same technology many employers use to screen resumes, to help make sure your resume is seen by a recruiter, not rejected by a robot. Then Quinncia’s AI can give you a practice interview, with questions based on your resume.
What’s Essential to Your Resume?
There are a few requirements for resumes to parse through Applicant Tracking Systems. It should always be created in a Word document or a Google Doc, then exported as a PDF. You should include your contact information, education, and your experiences where you highlight your skills and achievements.
Avoid using graphics or images, these can cause you to be immediately rejected. Also, stick to a simple straightforward format for your resume. A single column with clear titles and impactful content.
What is AI Interviewing?
Quinncia’s interviewing feature offers tailored mock interviews and individualized feedback using artificial intelligence that helps you practice telling your story based on experiences on your resume.
Different from video interviewing, many employers are moving first-round interviews to AI-assisted interviews, where there isn’t a human on the other end, and instead questions are presented on the screen or audio. Using this mock interview system can also help you prepare your interview presence for eventual video interviews as well.
What is Quinncia's LinkedIn Profiler?
Quinncia's LinkedIn Profiler is a tool that analyzes and enhances your LinkedIn profile. It provides instant feedback and suggestions to help you maximize the impact of your professional online presence. The tool evaluates your headline, summary, experience descriptions, and skills. It provides specific recommendations to improve each section, ensuring your profile is optimized for both human readers and applicant tracking systems (ATS).
One of the most valuable features of the tool is its ability to suggest relevant keywords for your industry and desired career path. By incorporating these keywords strategically throughout your profile, you increase your visibility to recruiters and improve your chances of appearing in search results for relevant job opportunities.
How does AI Software Affect You as an Applicant?
About 90% of companies use an ATS to review applications. ATS are set up to reject applicants’ resumes for graphics, photos, incorrect margins, columns, grammatical errors, and more. While you may be a great candidate for an open job or internship, if your resume does not parse an ATS, your resume will never be seen by a human reviewer.
When the average corporate job opening receives roughly 250 applications, you have to ensure your resume is ready to be read by an ATS. These systems make it easy for applicants to apply for jobs online. This means you are up against people who maybe have no interest in your dream job or internship. The last thing we want is for that person to move along in the application process instead of you.
If your resume is not formatted correctly or filled with impactful skills and competencies, you may be removed from the application process before you ever get to the hiring manager.
