Rant: ATS makes applying for roles feel like a lottery.

One side says it's needed for big firms, the other says it misses talent. Where do you fall on this?

Hold up, I see it as a necessary filter. It helps big companies handle the flood of apps so they can actually find people.

But that flood is people they're ignoring...

Isn't that just how big corps handle volume though?

Oh, a "necessary filter" is what we're calling it now? That's a nice way to say their system auto-deletes your resume because you used a different font. It's like they set up a robot to throw 90% of the applications straight into the trash before a human even blinks. Real efficient way to find the best people, for sure.
