AIs: ATS & Your Cybersecurity Job Search

Presented at Diana Initiative 2022, Aug. 11, 2022, 11 a.m. (60 minutes)

Online job submission platforms can be frustrating. If you are in the process of searching for your next role, you’re likely interacting with an AI-powered ATS (Applicant Tracking System) at some point in the process. ATS is used by a large percentage of Fortune 500 companies for hiring. How are bots helping humans with hiring? Let’s talk about what ATS systems are, why companies use them, and how ATS automates certain processes using AI and NLP. We’ll also discuss how ATS systems impact your own search, cover letters, and formatting tips for your resume with ATS in mind.
