That's been my experience with Greenhouse.
I don't know if tech hiring really corresponds much to general hiring. I never look at people's resumes for buzzwords. I just want to know what sort of projects people have worked on, and whether they are willing to learn the tech du jour that we happen to use.
- JohnFen 3y agoI think the issue is that computers are used to pre-screen resumes. That's where the keyword matching comes in. The human reviewing applicants is only seeing what wasn't already filtered out by the machine.
- jrockway 3y agoI don't do hiring at $CURRENT_JOB but I think most of our hires came through the network / Who's Hiring on HN. At $PAST_JOB, I was hiring a junior frontend engineer and got about 1000 resumes. I read them all. They were all boot camp templates, though. (The thing that made me mad was that boot camps bill their projects as work experience and tell candidates to list each textbook exercise as a past job, but given that different applications had line-for-line identical projects, I'm pretty sure that it's just a package of Github and PDF artifacts you just pay for. Not impressed!) We ended up not hiring anyone.
