      It is real, though the example they used only makes any sense if they’re like manually plugging resumes by hand into public ChatGPT, which they’re probably not doing.

      In reality, white text on your resume that consists of a large number of relevant keywords, that will in fact have an impact on the software they’re using. Recruiters are actually starting to complain about it.

        The latter you describe, I agree is more accurate to reality. I do think the challenge is slightly exaggerated in my experience. There were keywords and the actually to string search and the filters were useful. On the flip side even at small ish (under 500) company we sometimes got 100 resumes to review and most of them were often just straight up bad.

        I’m just pedantic and I think lemmy users have a habit of exaggerating to the point where I personally am thinking what reality are you living in?

        Wait, copying a pdf and pasting it into chatgpt is exactly how I picture a bad recruiter doing their job.

        CTRL-C, CTRL-V,

        hire?

          They likely use tools that do something similar on a larger scale. Less work for them that way.
