John Sundholm you nailed it. The frustration around Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) is real, and your video hit a nerve with so many job seekers for a reason—it validates everything they are experiencing, what we and others have been talking about for years. I thought it would be interesting to share what we have learned over 5 years of building Intry, regarding the "why" it's happening. Legacy Systems A lot of ATS tools still run on outdated frameworks (think MS-DOS level technology). They’re not built for the modern job market, so resumes with non-traditional formats, creative layouts, or certain key terms often don’t make it through. Qualified candidates get lost in translation. Bias in the Algorithms ATS algorithms filter based on keywords and qualifications, but the criteria are often narrowly defined. If the terms don’t align perfectly with what a recruiter is searching for, even qualified candidates might never get seen. That’s not about skills, it’s about language. Historical Data Problems Many ATS systems are built on old hiring data, so they often repeat past patterns—reinforcing biases and overlooking diverse candidates. The system works for those who "fit the mold," but for everyone else, it becomes a barrier. The good news is that there are tools that can help the job seeker get past many ATS systems. It isn’t about “gaming the system" it is about making sure the resumes aren’t lost before human eyes even have a chance to see them. Intry is just one of them. ATS aren't perfect as you talked about in your video, but understanding how they work gives job seekers an edge. It's not cheating—it's about being seen. You unintentionally validated everything we (Intry and others) have been saying and working to solve! So thank you! #ATS #JobSearch #CareerSolutions #IntryCareers #JobSeekerEmpowerment #CareerTech #OptimizeYourResume" https://lnkd.in/ggG-n6AZ

The Inevitable Separation of Money and State? Just as separating church and state protected religious freedom, Bitcoin might be paving the way for financial freedom. Historically, both institutions have fostered large-scale collaboration and coordination among people. However, keeping money free from political influence could be key to a fairer economic future. Is Bitcoin the tool we need to achieve this? #Bitcoin #FinancialIndependence #Decentralization #FutureFinance

Our Duncan was our man on the ground at yesterday's Institute of Internal Communication conference in Manchester. We asked him what his top three takeaways from the day were: 1. Give your employees autonomy. janet leighton Director of Happiness, Timpsons Limited explained how they operate an ‘Upside Down’ Management structure so all their retail colleagues have licence to run the retail outlets in the want as long as it leads to strong customer service. And to know they have the full support of the rest of the business.   2. Capture the diversity of voice. Ian MacArthur, Director Good Employment Charter talked about the importance of accommodating diverse working styles and the needs of different generational types.   3. Constantly ask yourself: ‘What’s the point in doing this activity or piece of communication?’ Northern Trains, Luke Pearce CIIC, Employee Experience Manager reminded us that understanding the status quo through data and research is easy but ‘Taking it, communicating and acting on it is the hard bit. What happens next is the real crunch.’ #InternalCommunications #EmployeeEngagement

The IOIC conference in Manchester was a great opportunity to continue my professional development in the comms space. I specifically enjoyed the EDI panel, and learned so much from the speakers. Hearing from comms teams on stage and in the audience about the real challenges they face has given me greater clarity on how Prologue Communications can better support our clients. Some of the key themes that came out of the discussion were: - How do we overcome change fatigue and resistance within our audiences? - How can comms teams be more strategic than responsive in their function? - How to build a culture of trust? - How do organisations communicate their perspective on global issues? - How can comms teams better handle the volume of information needing to reach colleagues? I highly recommend my network to join the IOIC, and be part of the conversation, and hopefully I'll see you at another event in the near future. #comms #IOIC #change #changecommunication
