So not only are they moving in this direction, it looks like it's here to stay.
I can confirm as far back in my personal observation, having seen versions of what's going on in applicant tracking back to about 2003, 2004.
Now that it's here and HR managers and ops departments and the like are seeing
how efficient it's making decisions and being able to get at quality candidates and actually giving HR folks the ability in more quality ways to work with HR managers, we're really seeing, excuse me, hiring managers, we're seeing that it's here to stay.
Anything that's artistic, anything that's beyond
Essentially if you were to look at it, like take the most basic word processor.
If the feature functionality is not in the most basic word processing, a resume will blow up in the face of what AI is actually looking for in the actual text.
It's looking for text, you know,
content stream, that kind of thing.
So it's not going to do very well with, as you know, a table and the like, it's going to read it like a foreign language and it's essentially the algorithm is going to blow it up.
So the top thing to do in looking at a job posting first is to start looking at the job description.
looking for the keywords and tags and the like just like how SEO works for websites you know if I were to search for marketing research form firm or something like that it's going to look Google's gonna look at all that you know the websites and like to have the greatest match for that well these applicant trackers are doing the same version of that so you want to make sure as a job seeker that your resume is tailored to
the job description, job requirements, that you're actually using the same terminology, the same exact words and the like, so that the keywords that they're looking for come up in your resume specifically.
Absolutely.
This is really your opportunity to speak directly to the hiring manager.
This is where you actually get to add some color commentary, give some stories, some real background, and speak to how
you fit to the company culture, to the job specifically, and then give further examples about what you know they're looking for in the job.
And it's where you really don't necessarily have to speak to an algorithm that's picking up keywords and you can actually really tell your story.
In that search for keywords and phrases, a candidate really wants to get a resume tailored to the job itself.
Making sure that those terms are showing up within the job description, the specs, all the job competencies.
