Have you used it to apply at big companies or at smaller ones? At big companies the process is likely more "industrialized" where the reader of your CV can't even put a checkmark equating "has deep resume" because the designers of their tool haven't thought of it, while at smaller ones the process is condensed to a single person maybe, who can apply human reason to your CV.
- BoorishBears 6y agoThe thing is I don't want to work at a place that's just giving people with the right keyword soup interviews anyways. My resume is still using human language, if they're just searching for a certain tech it will show up. But from there, if the recruiter is looking for easiest resumes to parse... they'll immediately recoil and move on For me that's a feature not a bug. I'm at the point in my career where it's generally assumed I'll be capable of giving technical interviews, and nothing sucks more than being on the receiving end a recruitment funnel that's more focused on cookie cutter applications than the actual applicant... I also don't want to work on a team that passed up capable people who just happen to have missed the resume meta - And fwiw, I work at fairly large company, not FAANG large, but ~5k employees, market cap ~50B, and TC is also about in line with FAANG I'd say, at least at my level. We have a ton of ex-FAANG coincidentally... I was contacted by a recruiter of theirs who recognized a previous company I worked at and wanted to chat (very small company, tiny, so I was surprised that was what got them to bite)
