Fierce competition among 25–49-year-olds
63.3% of all unemployed people are between 25 and 49 – this is where competition for skilled positions is greatest.
Experience has to sell itself
27.6% of job seekers are aged 50 to 64. For them in particular, a modern, ATS-optimised CV is key to presenting their expertise in a contemporary way.
Hard-hit industries
If you are looking for work in hospitality (6.9% unemployment), watchmaking (6.0%) or construction (4.5%), you need to stand out from the crowd even more.
Don't leave your career to chance. Or to algorithms.
Companies receive hundreds of applications and increasingly use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to pre-sort them automatically. If your CV has the wrong keywords or an unreadable format, you are screened out before a human ever sees it.
The good news: you can use AI just like the companies do! A recent Swiss study shows that job seekers who regularly use AI to create and optimise their application documents receive on average 48% more invitations to job interviews.
