The manager of a company had been searching for a senior level hire for months, while HR kept insisting that no qualified candidates could be found. He decided to apply for the position himself, using a fake name and his own resume. He was rejected within six minutes!
After a week of investigation, he discovered that the hiring filter was specifically looking for the exact phrase "React.js" whereas his resume simply said "React." It turned out that, since April, every single qualified candidate had been automatically rejected due to this tiny discrepancy and the company had assumed the problem lay with the job market! 😂
