Sure. We accept or reject all candidates as quickly as we can. But do you think this candidate should be progressed or rejected?

Our actual decision was to ask them to send in a video introduction before we schedule a phone screen with one of our engineers.

I like that and wish that was the new resume practice since I'd bet someone could get a lot more signal from hearing me talk about why I'd be a good fit rather than ATS screening my PDF out

The bad news is that I bet listening to 50+ video pitches is more exhausting than reading 50+ PDFs
