Let's be honest: tech hiring has turned into a giant game of keyword bingo. For years, the industry trained developers that if they wanted to get past the HR firewall, they just needed to sprinkle buzzwords like "Kubernetes," "Apache Spark," and "Microservices" over their resumes like confetti.

But here’s the ugly truth- this system is completely broken for everyone involved.

Hiring managers are drowning in a sea of "perfect" PDFs. They end up wasting countless hours in technical screens, only to realize the person sitting across from them knows all the right vocabulary but can't actually deploy the architecture in the real world.

If you are an engineer, relying on this keyword-matching game is a dangerous strategy for your career. When you play the ATS game, you’re handing your future over to a robotic filter and non-technical recruiters. They literally cannot tell the difference between someone who watched a 10-minute YouTube tutorial on cloud infrastructure and someone who actually keeps a high-load production environment from crashing at 3 AM.

Your career deserves better than being judged by an algorithm. It's time to let your actual execution do the talking.
