Real story
A developer staring at his laptop in disbelief. On screen: his own resume stamped REJECTED in red. Behind it, an ATS dashboard showing '2,847 candidates auto-rejected.' Office, harsh fluorescent light.

A tech lead submitted his own resume to his own company.

Rejected in seconds. The ATS was searching for "AngularJS" — a framework nobody has used since 2010. His resume said "Angular." Same technology, different keyword.

2,847 qualified candidates auto-rejected over 90 days. Half the HR department fired. Not because the system was broken.

Because the system followed its instructions perfectly.
