AI Killed Resumes

I’m currently hiring a backend software engineer for my team. On the first day, we received hundreds of applications.

Hundreds of garbage applications.

This isn’t entirely a new phenomenon. No matter what you put in the job requirements, I’ve always gotten a sea of “hey I’m a sales analyst, but I applied anyways” or “I’m applying for a senior role with 1 year of experience”. At least these types of applications have been extremely easy to filter away with any half-competent ATS tracking system, without introducing too many false negatives.
