How many qualified candidates get rejected because of generic resumes?

We’ve been talking to students, freshers, and job seekers while building ReCVme, and one pattern keeps showing up:

Most people apply to dozens (sometimes hundreds) of jobs using the exact same resume.

Then they assume:

• they’re underqualified

• the market is impossible

• they lack experience

But in many cases, their resume simply isn’t aligned with the job description or ATS filters.

Curious:

Do you tailor your resume for every application?

Or do you think ATS optimization is becoming overrated?

We’re building ReCVme around this exact problem and would love honest opinions from the PH community.
