This might be a silly question, but if a recruiter reaches out to you directly and asks for your resume... do they intend to read through it themselves or put it through an ATS system?

In my experience they usually intend to read through it themselves and then find jobs that are a good fit based on your resume. If they are asking you for it directly I would assume they aren't just going to put it in the ATS system.

They will read it through. (Or they should). An ATS is just a productivity tool recruiters use to organize the thousands of resumes they receive.
