Hiring reality: sources & what to expect
Hiring processes vary. Job Hunter helps you assess fit and prepare materials; it cannot bypass an ATS or guarantee an interview. Users confirm facts, review drafts and submit applications themselves.
- Greenhouse: Talent Filtering — employers can filter applications using keywords from resumes and notes. Required search terms must be present to appear in those results; this is not a universal rejection rule.
- Greenhouse: Auto-reject — employers can configure rejection based on application answers.
- Greenhouse: Unsuccessful resume parse — how systems extract information and where parsing can fail. A parsing failure does not itself mean rejection.
- HBS & Accenture: Hidden Workers (2021) — how hiring processes can exclude qualified people.
