They aren't going to read through hundreds or thousands of resumes trying to find the key items.

It's an automated process.

I don't know what to tell you - I just know that I've never known an HR organization that used something like that. All the corporate websites I've ever seen have you fill out a form an attach your resume. Maybe that's changing, but not where I am.

I know they never use it either... That's the problem. 🤦‍♂️

There are ways to make this bullshit non-existent and the only people not using it are the actual people doing the hiring.

A lot of those systems suck, AI might have improved in the last few years since I got out of HR so maybe it's not like that any more but they always crazy inaccurate. We use to see brick layers making it through the auto screens for finance roles when we just used the software. When the software makes that crazy of a mistake then HR can't see people actually qualified for the roles their recruiting.

Honestly I wish there was a standard resume format. It would make it easier for the software and for the humans rather than everyone flexing their creativity on resume formatting.
