Why does nobody talk about how job boards filter out older applicants?
I dug into my company's applicant tracking system last month and found out it quietly drops resumes with graduation dates before 2005. Our HR rep in Austin showed me the filter settings, they had a default cutoff set to 15 years. I ran a test with a fake resume from 1998 and it never hit the hiring manager's queue. Has anyone else checked what their ATS actually does with your application?
