Huh? This directly disagrees with my experience. I believe this person is mistaken. Resumes are always filtered before they hit my desk, I just never even knew

  If you never knew it happened, how do you... know it happened? I can't conclusively say one way or the other. I have been a hiring manager at a F500 tech company and have never seen direct evidence of any automatic filtering or rejections. Anyone speaking with complete confidence in either direction needs to bring actual evidence...

    As in, my managers always talked about their piles being “presorted by HR” which was just code for a computer did it. I never thought some well paid HR person was actually sorting through those, but maybe I guess. There’s no evidence to bring? Like, in the case of bunch of people bringing personal anecdotes you can still create a sense of truth without evidence Christ.

      The companies I worked at had sourcers and resume screeners who did exactly that. Mostly but not all contractors. Not necessarily well-paid, but humans nonetheless.

  jakub_g refers to the claim that "automated filtering systems are a myth". That doesn't mean that HR aren't filtering them manually.
