Welcome to That Sweet Salary, hosted by Ben Harris & Emily Green! In today’s episode, we dive into a surprising tactic one applicant used to bypass repeated job rejections. After being rejected for a job they felt qualified for, they decided to reapply using a new email address—and immediately moved forward in the hiring process. Join us as we explore how automated applicant tracking systems (ATS) could be creating unintended barriers for qualified candidates and how job seekers might navigate them. We’ll discuss when a workaround could be worthwhile and what you should consider if you find yourself in a similar situation. Plus, we’ll share tips to ensure your application doesn’t get automatically filtered out. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re getting rejected by a bot instead of a real recruiter, tune in for this revealing conversation!
