Why 95% of Resumes Are Rejected Before a Human Sees Them

The Modern Hiring Funnel

250 resumes received ↓ Step 1: ATS Auto-Filter (75% rejected) 62 remain ↓ Step 2: Keyword Ranking (top 20%) 12 remain ↓ Step 3: Human Screen (6-second scan, 60% eliminated) 5 remain ↓ Step 4: Phone Screen (3 pass) 3 remain ↓ Step 5: Interviews (1 gets offer)

Your odds: 0.4% success rate.

How to Escape

The problem: Optimizing for humans, but systems reject you first.

The solution:

1. Pass ATS (embedded transcript)
2. Pass 6-second scan (visual hierarchy)
3. Pass human evaluation (quantified achievements)

Need all three.
