This doesn’t work most of the time. The software highlights all the text of keywords and so your CV will show up with all the keywords highlighted everywhere and the manager will reject it
I’m not sure what software does that but I’ve used quite a few and the most I’ve seen is a score out of 100 that determines potential matches. I do a lot of hiring and I’m not sifting through hundreds of resumes, but when I do nothing is highlighted, just a pdf of their resume.
That being said, I’ve seen it generate plain text too when applying places so I can assume there are some softwares where this won’t work.
Worth the risk in my opinion. I’d be impressed. And I wouldn’t apply for a job I wasn’t qualified for in the first place

I paste the job advert into my CV font size 0.001 in white then pdf it so the ingest system auto ticks all the screening requirements
