I know people complain about this a lot, but I've applied to 80 jobs in the past couple months, and I don't think it's a problem anymore. I think they solved it.
No, you got lucky. I'm on the market too. It varies a lot by platform. Successfactors is the worst I've seen. It never picks up anything from resumes. Workday though is a crapshoot and seems to be based on the company's implementation.
Have you tailored your resume to be ATS parsible?
Yeah, even got a placement service and executive coach to help with resume and professional bio and all that. Word docs work better than pdfs but still have trouble with getting things loaded properly.
When I was hiring I almost never looked at what was in the hris so I've always prioritised the resume document when I applied but getting some help with optimizing it for the systems definitely seems to have helped. Just not with all of them.
