    Nah she’s talking about the ATS systems that filter through all the applicants’ resumes looking for the ones with the highest amount of matching keywords so they can get the number of applicants down to a more reasonable number to interview.

    They don’t care if their bots don’t work for your PDF resume because they get so many applicants it doesn’t matter.

    I’m surprised this isn’t common knowledge for jobseekers.

    The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.

    Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.

    Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.
