Employer’s have a variety of things that they look at regarding your resume. Researching this exact question is bound to give a job seeker a headache due to the overwhelming amount of job search information out there.

According to the research we’ve done, employers want a few basic things from a future candidate, and they’re for looking clues on your resume to help them answer the following:

• Can the applicant fill my need?
• Will the applicant remain long-term?
• Is the potential employee professional?

The question now remains – how does the employer answer these questions when looking at a resume? Most employers will use an applicant tracking system to match job seekers based off of keywords and phrases. From there, the employer will then spend less than 10 seconds looking at the resume to decide if you’re the right fit. So, how do you stand out for employers?

The best way to stand out to employers is with a specific resume which matches up with the job description. In many cases, this can lead you down a long road with many different resumes to create…and that’s okay! You should always tailor your resume to the opening to ensure you appear to be the best fit for the opportunity.

Using Resunate can help speed up the job hunting process. We help you create a customized resume to meet employer’s specifications and stand out above the rest of the applicants. In our newest release of Resunate 1.5, we also gave you a few more tools to ensure you create the best resume possible: Auto Focus and JobFocus™ Score.

How do you ensure your application meets employer’s expectations? Do you tailor your resume to every job opening you apply to?

Employers that use applicant tracking systems (the majority of them) often enter keywords or phrase terms when searching for resumes within an ATS. If the employer doesn’t use their own terms, they are at the mercy of the ATS to suggest the best candidates for them. So how do you, as a job seeker, become a top candidate for a company where the average response rate is only 4 percent? You revamp your resume with Resunate.

Resunate offers technologies that allow you to build a custom resume based on the job description — and helps you stand out during the application process for each job you apply for. Below are four features that help job seekers get noticed:

Templates That Matter: Resunate offers to instantly format your experiences in professional and easy to scan formats, which allows job seekers to customize their resume to better showcase your strengths. This gets the resume noticed by the ease it presents your information to the employer.

Semantic Intelligence: Making Resunate one of a kind – it utilizes semantic matching technology to help job seekers to compare their resume to any job description they are interested in. This technology then allows the job seeker to see which of your experiences are the highest ranked and most relevant for the job.
