Companies never did a good job of hiring employees. Today it’s even worse with electronically-scanned resumes. The scans pick people with a lot of experience – on paper. It doesn’t matter what kind of experience. The guy could have killed every project he ever worked on and he could have been absent half the time and drunk on the job the other half, as long as the keyword search gives him a high score, he’s in.
Things like “fit” or transferable skills or how you saved your prior company billions of dollars aren’t picked up by the scanners.
