These days, personal promotion is everything, and this is why you will commonly find that companies are asking for more in terms of personal profile documents to really gage who a candidate is personally and professionally. Some of these documents include:
Resume (CV)
Cover letter or motivation letter
Personal pitch
Personal website
LinkedIn Profile
Professional portfolio (especially for creative roles)

This makes it even more imperative that the contents of your actual personal profile documents be transferable in these circumstances. Not only will this save you a lot of time, but you can feel confident in the content you provide.

Applicant tracking software (ATS) essentially organizes, filters, ranks, and collects information on prospective job applicants, mostly from their resume, but in some instances in other documents too. Depending on the ATS deployed, it will generally be analysing and looking for job-specific keywords, synonyms of skills, font type, abbreviations, and even overall formatting of your documents.
