New screening software sifts through CVs and only shortlists those that seem to have the right qualifications and experience for the job, based on what recruiters have entered as minimum requirements.
Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) systems are now quite numerous and some of them represented by global companies. Some are very sophisticated and others rather rudimentary and your CV needs to get past both of them.

You’ll still need to make sure your CV is fit for human eyes, and if invited for an interview, you’ll need to impress in person. Yet getting past the machines is becoming more and more of a challenge, especially for those who do not.
