Are AI-Screened Applicants Doomed? Recruiters Reveal Shocking Truths and How to Outsmart the System

Some applicant tracking systems scan cover letters. Others ignore them entirely.
And even when they’re reviewed by humans, recruiters often skim them in seconds.
So why bother?
Because when a recruiter does read your cover letter, it’s your chance to add context the algorithm can’t capture.
It’s where you explain a career pivot, highlight a specific accomplishment, or demonstrate that you actually understand what the company does.
