Rebel HR Rants are 5 minute segments to give you a quick perspective on the world of HR.  Kyle gives advice on various topics to help you in your role as a people leader, employee, or HR professional.

This Quick Tip is in response to the massive increase in applicants for open positions.  This has resulted in many HR professionals using Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) with AI assistance screening for "keywords".  Kyle calls this out for what it is:  Weird. 

Keywords are just another way to say bulls&%t.  A resume shouldn't be a SEO keyword document that gets a computer generated AI bot to submit your resume to the hiring manager.  I thought this was Human Resources! 

Learn about the approach you can think about as a job seeker or HR professional.
