Every country should pass a labour law banning use of ATS

@GayBearRes I work for Microsoft as Principal engineer snd just for fun I applied to 25-30 jobs and I have all ingredients in my resume scale, AI everything All rejections !! From everywhere Snowflake, Sofi, Google, Amazon, Zillow, Coin, Ebay, Yahoo, JPM All applications rejected in <3hr
@cferdinandi Even if there are thousands of resumes or portiflios it's just 2-3 pages
Shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 weeks reading it
@cferdinandi I was just saying isn't this the job of recruiters? Why have they got so comfortable in using such a dehumanising procedure of evaluating people for a job
If they can't even dignify giving few minutes to people who spent years honing their expertise or skill then what use is that profession?
@impactology most recruiters are recruiting for more than one job at a time. Most recruiters then also need to contact the narrow down, subset of candidates and conduct an initial screening interview. Most recruiters need to coordinate a whole series of interviews between various folks on the hiring team and candidates. most recruiters need to coordinate with the financial and legal teams to generate offer letters and contracts.

@pleaseclap @impactology ATS's have been in use for about 20 years now. That it's a problem now has less to do with the software itself and more to do with people jamming shitty AI models into everything and making software notably worse.
Before the ATS, recruiters would use other shitty tactics to toss resumes without review, like education requirements or "I don't like the way this name sounds."
(Obviously that still happens today even with ATSs)
