Unlocking Recruiters’ Secrets: How AI Screening Could Make or Break Your Job Hunt
Formatting matters more than you think
AI screening software struggles with creativity. Fancy fonts, graphics, tables, and text boxes can confuse the parsing algorithms.
What looks polished to a human might be completely unreadable to a machine.
I keep a resource library with sample resumes for clients, and the ones that perform best in automated systems are almost boring.
Clean fonts like Arial or Calibri. Standard section headings like “Work Experience” and “Education.” Bullet points instead of paragraphs. No headers or footers where important information might get lost.
