The Admin Filter.

ATS software rejects admin resumes that list tasks instead of tools. 'Managed calendar' is invisible. 'Google Workspace proficiency' is required signal.

Debriefing.

ATS scan for specific tools like 'Zoom', 'Salesforce', 'Concur', and 'Microsoft Excel' (specifically PivotTables). Generic terms like 'Communication' gain zero points.

Most likely due to 'Task Listing'. Instead of saying 'Answered phones', say 'Managed 50+ daily inbound inquiries using VoIP systems'. Quantify your volume.

Keep it simple. Use standard headers like 'Work Experience', avoid two-column layouts if they have complex tables, and remove graphics/icons.
