Not defending the recruiters for not reading resumes, but I’ve seen the recruiting queue and it sucks.
Way more than half the applications are fake, from out of the country (for jobs that require you to work physically at the location), or just clearly entered for unemployment requirements. Across dozens of applications on each of the dozens of open positions each week.
State/federal requirements mean the jobs have to be posted to a bunch of equal opportunity job boards that never produce real candidates.
There’s a reason recruiters are feeding all their shit through AI. It became an AI slop fight for both sides of the job application process.
I don’t work in recruiting at all. I don’t read resumes.
Office vs labor in my industry is weighted towards labor making more money.
Non-union on government contracts requires prevailing wage pay at union agreed rates.
A laborer (basic unskilled labor) can make $45/hour with fringe benefits at $25/hour. They make OT on top of that which the salaried office employees don’t.
yea ive been hearing some , alot h applicants are using AI to send, apply with 100s or 1000+ resumes at once in a given year or a few months. i imagine more than one of these are applied to jobs they dont really fit.
The alternative is they make a program to read your resume and when it reads it wrong you get filtered out for that
Or a standardized format that can be read and written by both machines and humans and displayed however you please, like JSON Resume
The syntax of the resume is not a problem really.
Semantic structure is.

Not every industry pays their workers garbage.

and then they add in things like “keywords” and deny you based on that, this was prior to AI, AI just does it faster and more sloppily.
