Webinar: How to Optimise Your CV For Recruitment Software / Applicant Tracking Systems For Early-Mid Career Professionals

It was revealed during this AMBA & BGA webinar that as many as 75% of CVs never made it past applicant tracking systems (ATS) - meaning they were never seen by a human recruiter. Most employers and recruitment firms use ATS software to screen applications before a person even reads them, filtering out candidates who don’t meet specific algorithm-driven criteria.

Even highly qualified applicants with strong CVs often failed to pass these automated checks, simply because their documents weren’t formatted or written with ATS algorithms in mind.

During this session, participants explored the critical role ATS plays in the modern job search, especially for business school graduates and management education professionals aiming for high-level roles in competitive markets.

The webinar covered:

  • How ATS tools function and how recruiters use them in practice

  • Common myths about CV scanning software - and why some tools should be ignored

  • The five essential tactics to make any CV pass the ATS filter

  • The most frequent CV and LinkedIn profile mistake made by experienced professionals and senior-level candidates

  • Real-world CV strategies that delivered up to 500% better results for some job seekers

Attendees left equipped with the knowledge to ensure their CVs were not only human-friendly, but optimised for today’s AI-driven recruitment processes - an essential skill for graduates, teaching faculty, and business school leaders alike navigating the evolving landscape of career advancement.
