The average ATS score for targeted positions is only 34%, with just 1 out of 17 CVs scoring above 90% for the candidate's targeted positions. If you're applying for positions you are qualified for and receiving rejection emails or no feedback, it's likely that your CV is being rejected by the ATS, not the hiring manager or recruiter.
