Bot-friendly Version for ATS (HR CRMs) #5

Open coolaj86 opened 3 years ago

coolaj86 commented 3 years ago

Many ATS's give a "quick view" format of the resume. If the structure is in columns it almost always makes it into a plain text doc. I and many other recruiters will likely not read that resume because we have many other options. - Anonymous inside source

You'd think that the stuff on the right-hand aside would read after the stuff on the left-hand main area, but when an HR bot parses this.

Despite the fact that everything selects correctly (and you might naively expect bots to follow selectable text order), it puts those things a little in the middle.

The sectioning is right, but the overall structure is wrong.

sudo apt install pdftotext
pdftotext resume.pdf
cat resume.ttxt

I'd like a selector up at the top:

| For Humans (In-Hand) | For ATS Upload (HR Software CRM) |
