In 2024, talented professionals were struggling to land jobs, not because they lacked skills, but because they couldn't navigate a hiring system dominated by AI and automated screening. Resumes were being rejected in 0.3 seconds by Applicant Tracking Systems before humans ever saw them.
Qualified candidates didn't know that organizations with different hiring criteria used ATS software, or that missing keywords and wrong formatting meant automatic disqualification, regardless of actual qualifications. This wasn't just unfair—it was a systemic failure costing talented people opportunities.
