The automation causes them to miss a number of qualified candidates, but at least one gets through and thisisfine.jpg. These aren't regex strings. They key on keywords and make the stupid mistakes common with keyword filters. Also, they make the hiring process worse. Know the right keywords to put into a resume and you can be a grand mal idiot, and you'll still get interview time. I get the other side of it. No HR is staffed to cull through 1000s of resumes, but the systems meant to aid them, are poorly developed and tossed out the door in the name of PROFITS. Note: Profits aren't a bad thing. PROFITS are, because they ignore everything else for the sake of PROFITS, hence the caps. A simple example. How many times would anyone here enjoy uploading a resume, then immediately after, having to either type in the entire fucking thing, or spend 20 mins "correcting" the horrific parsing. If more dev time had been spent the process would be much better for the prospective employee, but they didn't. Companies built half-assed parsing, called it done, and moved on. Developing these systems into more than just the horse shit out there now would go a long way towards solving both issues. Source: I've been Senior Technical/Hiring manager for most of my career.
