Justin, as a friendly suggestion, double check your recruitment process.

I believe you guys are rejecting people based on keywords instead of reading CV.

I applied to a position and I believe to be a great fit, but in my CV you won't find the keywords that appears in the job description. Automatic rejection in no time.

Nothing wrong, but you are leaving a lot of talent to the table, and I was very hesitant in applying giving all the comments I see in your posts.

lol why fight it? just do the same thing…copy paste the website/company info & ur resume through gpt and make sure to use your new “prompt engineering” skills to run it through a bunch of times with prompts like “make me sound even more certified and a better fit for this company”. u have to be creative with your prompt though
Can definitely promise all resumes are reviewed by an actual human pending an applicant's answers on specific application questions (ie. do you require sponsorship [we aren't set up to accommodate visas at this time], are you willing to complete a background check, etc.) that would indeed cause an application to be auto-rejected.
