Text-Based Resume Screening is Vulnerable

Traditional resume parsing systems have a critical weakness: they rely on text extraction that can be easily manipulated. Candidates can add:

• Invisible white text containing keywords
• Hidden formatting with qualification claims
• Deceptive content specifically designed to game AI systems

These techniques bypass automated screening, sending unqualified candidates to your interview pipeline, wasting valuable time and resources.

Recruiters report that up to 30% of applications contain some form of hidden manipulation, and this trend is increasing as AI screening becomes more common. The recruitment industry needs a solution that can see what humans see, not just extract manipulable text.
