Well, the game is the game. Recruiters have been using Robos for a long time, so it is only fair for applicants to also improve their chances with AI.

BTW, this tool does not mass apply or create fake resumes, what it does is to use your data to create a resume that gives you a fighting chance against ATS systems.

I apologize for misunderstanding what the service does.

I don't agree about escalating the arms race. To get a fighting chance against ATS systems you need to go around those systems, not try to trick them or get some small percentage of resumes through them. Like I wrote already, applying for jobs with online applications and sending in resumes in response to online posts -- whether tailored by AI or not -- describes a terrible strategy for getting a job. You can optimize a bad strategy and try to outsmart the ATS systems, or try a better strategy.
