About ATS First
ATS First is an AI-assisted resume tool for job seekers who worry that applicant tracking systems will filter out their applications. It compares a resume with a specific job description, produces a score, and points out the keywords that the posting asks for but the resume does not contain.
It can also build resumes and cover letters that are formatted to be read correctly by ATS software. The vendor's homepage could not be retrieved when this entry was prepared, so supported file formats, pricing and extra features are not listed here. It is a hosted commercial service in the recruiting category.
