This wouldn’t work unless you are applying to a created-in-weekend service.
Proper ATSs parse resumes, extract skills, work history, … etc and they did that way before OpenAI existed

- mvdtnz 2y agoI don't know what an ATS is (it's weird to introduce obscure, undefined acronyms by the way) but this is exactly the kind of thing that breathless "AI" boosters are claiming GPT is useful for - replacing expensive fancy bespoke systems with simple prompt-driven "AI".
- dullcrisp 2y agoApplicant tracking system, I believe.
- riskable 2y agoAbsolutely Terrible Shirk, I know.
- EGreg 2y agoShirk, like the Muslim word for polytheists?
- throwanem 2y agoNo, like shirk, an English word for the act of being intentionally derelict in one's duty, and derived so far as I know from middle German.
- Maxatar 2y agoActually it's more like shirk, originally a nautical term referring to a ship that avoids or evades enemy detection or engagement.
- nkrisc 2y agoThat’s not the modern usage though. If you look up “shirk” in any modern dictionary you’ll definitely find the definition you’re replying to. Perhaps only the OED will have the older nautical meaning.
- esprehn 2y agoIt's not that obscure, it's the technical term for the management software in the recruitment and hiring space and the term predates the modern AI craze by over a decade (or more?): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applicant_tracking_system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applicant_tracking_system https://www.oracle.com/human-capital-management/recruiting/what-is-applicant-tracking-system/ https://www.oracle.com/human-capital-management/recruiting/w... https://www.greenhouse.com/resources/glossary/what-is-an-applicant-tracking-system-ats https://www.greenhouse.com/resources/glossary/what-is-an-app...
- victorbjorklund 2y agoIt is the normal term. Kind of like using the acronym CRM.
- GarnetFloride 2y agoIt became big in 2008 with the Great Recession.
- bpc777 2y agoWhy would you bother typing "I don't know what an ATS is" into a Hacker News comment rather than typing "What is an ATS" into a Google search?
- mvdtnz 2y agoI didn't type that.
- rglynn 2y agoI'm not sure it's accurate to say it's obscure given the first wiki result for "ATS" is the one being discussed.
- Suppafly 2y agoApplicant Tracking Systems have been a thing for a long time, even if you weren't familiar with the concept, context explains what's being talked about. Even if context didn't help, if you've applied for a job in the 20 years, you've experienced what's being talked about.
- parpfish 2y agoIt’d probably work at small companies where the HR rep is “manually” outsourcing their hiring process to chatgpt by drag and dropping docs into the chat window
- Tao3300 2y agoWherever this works, you don't want to.
- muzani 2y agoIt would be funny if all ATSes added ChatGPT now. We're in a world where Google (the search engine) is using Gen AI.
- red-iron-pine 2y agothat might very well be happening though
- msl09 2y agoIf my freelancer friends are anything to go by. Many companies, including some big-ish ones, will go with what's the cheapest option that looks good enough.
