Recruiters consistently use bad practices like this and use AI to search for keywords.
Then they get upset when candidates use AI to apply for jobs.
Rules for thee, but not for me!
I'm so glad I was able to establish a career and become well known in an industry before applying for positions was so demoralising and exhausting. I worry about what things will be like in another few years when my children enter the job market.
There's actually an easy technical fix for this. All we would need is a common format for resumes that is machine readable, e.g. an XML schema that defines what fields should be in there. Then you just need a simple tool with a nice UI for inputting the info. So what are the chances of this happening? That's right, exactly zero.
The EU actually has something like that:

Interesting. Never heard of that.
This is one of the rare spaces where AI could be genuinely useful if it can accurately pull this data out of mass uploaded resumes.
It's already being used, and already screens out people with the same biases you could expect (name sounds foreign, name is female, etc.).
I wouldn’t want it to do screening, literally just OCR and key word extraction.
They do that too.
I recently endured a job search. Applied to over 400 positions on Indeed alone. I stopped filling out the forms. Probably lost out on some job opportunities, but having to fill this shit out 30 times a day is not worth the effort.
