Jul 22, 2016 /prREACH/ -- More than 75% of today's submitted resumes are never even seen by human eyes. That’s because over 90% of employers use automated software or Applicant Tracking Software that pre-screens for appropriate use of keywords, improper formatting, and spelling as well as grammatical mistakes. The use of applicant tracking software by companies has risen dramatically over the last five years as it has become cheaper and more accessible. If a resume does not score highly enough, the software rejects the resume and it’s never reviewed by the employer.

Zipjob founders Michael Krikheli and Jeff Macks teamed up to create a resume writing service with a unique twist. Zipjob matches customers to a certified professional resume writer who works with candidates to improve their resume. “What makes this really unique is Zipjob’s proprietary software which uses the same ATS technology companies use to screen resumes.” - Jeff Macks, CTO. The software scans a resume, searching for and identifying mistakes and other issues that Applicant Tracking Software is likely to flag.

“With over 250 resumes sent for a single opening, and more than 90% of companies using resume screening technology, job seekers need to have an effective and optimised resume.” - Michael Krikheli, Co-founder

Zipjob’s service has proven to be very effective. Results from a March 2016 study indicated a 240% greater response rate when a resume had been optimized for Applicant Tracking Software. Zipjob’s service has helped candidates secure positions with some of the country’s top employers like Google, General Electric, Groupon, Esurance, and Allstate.

Zipjob also offers a free resume review. The review provides some of the issues that can affect how the ATS reads your resume. A certified writer will also look over your resume and provide some feedback. Offering a free resume scan, dedicated professional writers, and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, Zipjob offers to help job seekers of all backgrounds, qualifications, and prospects create their most competitive resume.
