This is a flawed system. Why has HR become a non human approach system? I tried to understand it by trying to make my CV as per a particular job discreption. 2 requirements which were not complusory but would have been an advantage, which i did not have, gave my current CV a 65% match… Position School administration & secretary Missing experience was 1) HR management software 2) educational setting Both were mentioned but not a complussion So if it wasnt a complusion why a drop to 65% I added these 2 points and it was a 100% match… In the process of a perfect match, this system has demeaned a good resume that could have been a good fit, if the complusory requirements were truly sort after. Isnt this a waste of the company time & resources and an applicant time? There are suggestions floating around on social media to add the requirements even if you have to lie just to get a call… is this good? Is this not cheating? Dear HR, Perfect people, perfect resume, do not exist. Please explore CV with a human touch not flawed systems. We are humans applying, do not let systems just our experience and profiles. Thank you. #jobseekers #ats #HR

John Sundholm you nailed it. The frustration around Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) is real, and your video hit a nerve with so many job seekers for a reason—it validates everything they are experiencing, what we and others have been talking about for years. I thought it would be interesting to share what we have learned over 5 years of building Intry, regarding the "why" it's happening. Legacy Systems A lot of ATS tools still run on outdated frameworks (think MS-DOS level technology). They’re not built for the modern job market, so resumes with non-traditional formats, creative layouts, or certain key terms often don’t make it through. Qualified candidates get lost in translation. Bias in the Algorithms ATS algorithms filter based on keywords and qualifications, but the criteria are often narrowly defined. If the terms don’t align perfectly with what a recruiter is searching for, even qualified candidates might never get seen. That’s not about skills, it’s about language. Historical Data Problems Many ATS systems are built on old hiring data, so they often repeat past patterns—reinforcing biases and overlooking diverse candidates. The system works for those who "fit the mold," but for everyone else, it becomes a barrier. The good news is that there are tools that can help the job seeker get past many ATS systems. It isn’t about “gaming the system" it is about making sure the resumes aren’t lost before human eyes even have a chance to see them. Intry is just one of them. ATS aren't perfect as you talked about in your video, but understanding how they work gives job seekers an edge. It's not cheating—it's about being seen. You unintentionally validated everything we (Intry and others) have been saying and working to solve!
