I spent $80 on a resume scanner that said I was a perfect fit, but the real hiring algorithm never even saw my application.

I mean, it's wild that a tool can promise fairness by checking keywords, but then a completely different system with its own hidden rules just filters you out before a human even looks, has anyone else had a company's public and private algorithms totally disagree on you?

My old job's internal system filtered for a specific degree our public site never mentioned.
