EP 25. Why 60–70% of Resumes Never Get Seen by Recruiters (It’s Not What You Think) (EP 1 of 5 Mini Series)

Season 1 Episode 25

Are you qualified for roles but still not getting interviews? You’re not imagining things.

In this episode, career and salary negotiation coach Evie breaks down why up to 60–70% of resumes never surface to recruiters — not because candidates aren’t good enough, but because of how Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) rank and filter applications.

You’ll learn what really happens after you submit a resume, why most rejections aren’t personal, and how hiring systems quietly filter out strong candidates before a human ever reviews their application.

This episode is part 1 of a 5-part mini-series called Why Your Resume Isn’t Getting Seen (And How to Fix It), where we break down why resumes get overlooked and how to fix it.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why most resumes aren’t “automatically rejected” — they’re ranked low
  • How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) actually work
  • The difference between resume rejection vs resume invisibility
  • Why high-achieving women are disproportionately affected
  • How resume screening impacts confidence and salary expectations
  • What to focus on instead of blaming yourself

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, stuck, or invisible in your job search — this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. You can read more about Why Resumes Never Get Seen by Recruiters on the blog here.
