How ATS screens product and project management resumes

What recruiters filter and search on

• Credentials such as PMP, CSM, PSM or SAFe, often listed as preferred
• Methods: roadmapping, discovery, prioritization, Agile and Scrum ceremonies, risk management
• Tools: Jira, Confluence, Figma, product analytics such as Amplitude or Mixpanel

Name things the way the posting does

• Write the full credential with its acronym: "Project Management Professional (PMP)"
• Tie each launch to a metric: adoption, revenue, cycle time, on-time delivery
• State scope: team size, budget, number of stakeholders or workstreams

What trips up parsers in this field

• Bullets that describe meetings instead of decisions and results
• Design work shown only through a portfolio link with no text
• Mixing product and project titles so the role is unclear
