My friend in HR showed me how the hiring algorithm filters out 40% of qualified applicants
She ran a test where she tweaked the keyword weight and suddenly a bunch of people with 5+ years experience appeared that the system had buried. Has anyone else seen their company's AI screening actually kill good candidates like that?

Rewording my resume to match the exact job listing keywords helped a ton.

I used to think that was a waste of time, to be honest. I figured if the skills were there, the hiring person would see them. But after hearing from @owens.anthony and seeing how many companies just use software to scan resumes first, it makes way more sense now. Those bots are looking for exact phrases, not creative writing. So if you don't match their words, your resume gets tossed before a person ever reads it. That changed my whole view. I started doing it and got way more callbacks, nothing fancy, just swapping in the terms they used.

Exactly, matching those exact phrases is wild how much it matters. I did the same thing and started getting interviews out of nowhere, it felt like cheating almost.
