My experience was I was 100% ignored by companies using Lever or Greenhouse for their applications. I don't know if that's a sign of their company processes, some bit of info on my resume, or if those tools offer the recruiter girls a quick way to ignore/filter out certain people, but FYI. I don't bother with applying to those anymore.

> recruiter girls

wtf mate?

When it comes to internal recruiting this has been mostly true at every company I've worked for or interviewed with for decades.

Male representation in internal recruiting orgs is maybe 20% at best. Probably closer to 10%.

In regular bog-standard (non-outsourced-overseas) HR organizations, men are unicorns.

No harm meant, many/most companies I've dealt recently with have young women doing their recruiting.
I suppose calling them “girls” seems very strange to me, presumably they’re all adults.
It’s colloquially
And often seem to be selected according to Western "beauty standards".
