This is because ATSes still use keyword boolean search rather than semantic and natural language search. It's super frustrating.
I'm working on building an ATS that lets you search for things like "experience scaling a company from 100 to 1000 people" or "product management leadership in fintech" even if you didn't put that on your resume explicitly. It's a fun challenge.
I'm looking for a technical co-founder (I'm a dev too). If anyone is interested in working on this with me, email me: robert at facet dot net.
- Ilasky 3y agoFunnily enough, I’m working on the opposite side with Resgen[0] where it helps applicants create resumes tailored for each job description to increase their odds of passing through ATS systems. In my own job search, I’ve noticed a marked difference in call backs. [0] https://resgen.app https://resgen.app
- rsweeney21 3y agoCool! We should chat.

- squeaky-clean 3y agoWouldn't this still get tricked by a white-font'd resume that has naturally written text in the white-font? You'd need to detect if some given text will actually be viewable.
