INDUSTRY COVERAGE
Industries We Specialize In
Every industry has its own ATS landscape, keyword requirements, and screening patterns. Our research covers the specific platforms and terminology unique to your professional field.
Technology & Software
01Tech companies use sophisticated ATS platforms that heavily weight technical keyword matching. Creative resume formats popular in tech (infographics, portfolio links) often break parsers.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
Greenhouse, Lever, Workday
KEY KEYWORDS
CI/CD, Agile, microservices, cloud infrastructure, REST APIs, DevOps
Healthcare & Medical
02Healthcare ATS systems prioritize compliance keywords and certifications. Missing a single required certification keyword can trigger automatic rejection.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
iCIMS, Workday, Taleo
KEY KEYWORDS
HIPAA, EMR/EHR, patient safety, clinical protocols, BLS/ACLS
Finance & Banking
03Enterprise financial institutions use the most rigid ATS configurations. Table-based resume layouts are particularly problematic with Workday and Taleo.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
Workday, Taleo, SuccessFactors
KEY KEYWORDS
Financial modeling, Bloomberg, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, CFA
Engineering
04Engineering roles require precise technical terminology. Generic descriptions of engineering work score poorly against specific keyword requirements.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
Workday, iCIMS, BambooHR
KEY KEYWORDS
CAD, project management, Six Sigma, FEA, regulatory standards
Marketing & Sales
05Marketing roles increasingly require tool-specific keywords. ATS systems scan for platform names and methodologies, not just general marketing terms.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters
KEY KEYWORDS
HubSpot, Salesforce, GA4, SEO, conversion optimization, pipeline management
Legal & Compliance
06Legal ATS configurations are highly specific about jurisdiction, practice area, and bar admission status. Missing these structured data points leads to filtering.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
Workday, Taleo, iCIMS
KEY KEYWORDS
Contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, due diligence, litigation, bar admission
Education
07Education-specific ATS platforms (PeopleAdmin) have unique parsing requirements. Academic CVs often need to be reformatted entirely for these systems.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
PeopleAdmin, Workday, PageUp
KEY KEYWORDS
Curriculum development, student outcomes, accreditation, differentiated instruction
Government & Public Sector
08Government ATS systems (especially USAJOBS) have the most rigid formatting requirements. Federal resumes follow entirely different conventions than private sector.
COMMON ATS PLATFORMS
USAJOBS, Workday, NeoGov
KEY KEYWORDS
Security clearance, GS level, KSAs, federal acquisition, policy analysis
