A common misconception is that ATS automatically rejects resumes. The truth is, an ATS is a database tool that helps recruiters quickly find qualified candidates among a large volume of resumes. It's a human who makes the final decision.
An ATS acts like a digital filing system or database. All applicant information is stored and organized so the hiring team can easily search, filter, and manage it.
It has several key functions: Resume Parsing, Ingestion, Section Identification using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Field Extraction, Quality Scoring assigns a score based on how well the resume matches the job.
Another key part is Knockout Questions, this is the most important automatic filter. During the application, questions like "Do you have a work permit for this country?" or "What is your level in the destination country's language?" are asked. If your answer doesn't match the criteria set by the recruiter, your application is automatically rejected or flagged.
More advanced ATS platforms don't just look for exact keyword matches, they use AI to recognize concepts and synonyms. For example, they'll match "PMS" with "Performance Management System."
Match Score: The system assigns each resume a score based on pre-set criteria (like keyword match, work experience, education).
Ranking: Candidates are ranked by this score, so recruiters interview the most qualified ones first.
Finally, I'll drop two links for resume building that help match and optimize your resume with the job role in the ad. They're very effective, but you need to use Claude.

So I’m expected to live in every country where I apply for a job and speak the language fluently?!

What a surprise! What did I tell you a few days ago. You went on blabbering about big companies and what not. I work at a company with 99000 employees worldwide yet you had to be the expert in recruiting.

Meanwhile if you were Indian, American companies would trip over themselves to hire you just to save a few dollars.

I see people who intend to immigrate learning a language like German and taking an international language exam, getting a language certificate such as C1. That’s understandable. But requiring someone to already have a work permit in the destination country or be a citizen there in order to get a job isn’t very logical, especially when thousands of refugees without skills or academic degrees are granted citizenship.
I think getting a student visa is much easier, and finding work while studying, because with this approach, it’s impossible, even with the highest level of job skills.

It is difficult and almost impossible and there are many reasons for that.

Even in Australia, so many big corps are rapidly establishing GCCs (Global Capability Centres) in India. For every position they are asking "can this role be performed in India". Honestly I find it fucking disgusting.

The kicker is if you add on the high cost of managing them to get anything adequate out of them then you're not saving any money.

At least it makes more sense in Australia considering the timezones. On my team there are people in California, Chicago, New York + Florida, London, and Ukraine with our scrum master is in Pune, India. So that's 6:30am, 8:30am, 9:30am, 2:30pm, 4:30pm, and 7pm all at the same time. Coordinating anything is such a pain in the ass and the times end up sucking for at least half the people at any given time.

What's your take on this policy? Do you think it protects locals and keeps the environment stable? I mean, do strict rules for accepting skilled workers create better conditions for the country, economic growth, and job creation?

I know people living in the Netherlands. They can be racist AF there. There are a lot of jobs that are listed as "native Dutch only", meaning learned Dutch people need not apply.

Having worked for a Dutch company for some years I can definitely vouch for the racism thing, amongst the older upper social classes at least. As in, they don't follow their NT any more because they have non-whites vibe.

It always makes more sense to hire locals.

Also, plenty of countries in EU already got fucked by immigrants.

I think a balanced policy works best, strict enough to protect locals and infrastructure, but flexible enough to attract the talent the country actually needs.
I recently read an article on this topic. The author mentioned some downsides of immigration like protecting local wages, easing pressure on housing and services, ensuring political stability, and improving integration. Mechanising and controlling the immigration process helps avoid a crisis. But, that logic doesn’t apply to student visas, purely to collect tuition fees and generate revenue, they don’t enforce the same strict rules and policies.

Your basis are wrong thinking that talents aren't available locally, though. It's not locals hire retards because they don't want immigrants.

That's not what I meant at all. If you look at big European companies, they provide services on a large scale and even operate outside their geographic borders. As their business grows and new technologies emerge, the demand for labour increases. I hope you didn't misinterpret what I said, that's not what I meant at all.

It is more convenient and that is all. But also only unique talent is missed out upon, the rest is more or less the same. And in my field Claude helps us a lot. So..

I’ve managed to do some remote work for a few European companies and got paid for it. Given the state of Iran’s currency and the exchange rate, it looked like decent money. I think most employers hand out projects as remote work because they pay lower rates and more importantly, they avoid hiring people, paying salaries, insurance, tax and other benefits.

I took my bachelor’s and master’s documents to a translation office to have them translated into English so I can present them officially. I was reviewing my master’s transcript. Since my degree was in IT Management, which is considered an interdisciplinary field between IT engineering and management, I listed the more technical courses in my CV. Apparently, in Germany there is an apprenticeship program called Ausbildung, and I want to present my CV in a way that shows my apprenticeship is connected to the technical courses from my master’s and that I entered the technical field through those courses.

Are you not fluent in English?
You certainly seem like you are when you write it.

I'd say writing about red anuses is pretty advanced and surpasses 'Professional working proficiency'.
