How does one defeat the ATS system? Or human recruiters candidates can actually reach in person?

How does one defeat the ATS system as I feel most of the jobs I have applied for did not reach any human recruiters but a cold robot? This is after tailoring each CV everytime I applied to a different job. I was rejected for proofreading job when I have many years of experience with Fortune 500 companies doing their copywriting and creating marketing content.

I have transcribed live broadcast of the Oscars and BBC Special. I have also done editing and proofreading for academic publications and journal submissions.

However, I noticed this is particularly severe in the UK job market with these ATS systems. As most of the time I would only get a job interview or a human response when I email my application directly to a recruiter or the manager. Anyone with any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.
