    The company wants a way to rapidly reject applicants to slim the pool of viable candidates to a level manageable by humans.

    If a software engineer job posting is made that requires java and got 10,000 applicants having a computer automatically reject any that don’t have “java” in the application reduces the human load.

      Yeah but every application like that I have has also had individual questions about meeting the requirements. So why filter by ocr tags? If I’m going to lie on the questions I’m probably fine doing so on my resume too.
