Even with a 90%+ ATS scan rate, platforms like Workday, Greenhouse, and iCIMS often fail to attach the correct resume. If you’ve uploaded multiple versions, the system may default to an outdated file—causing rejection without explanation. I tested this by applying to the same job using a new device, email, and tailored resume. One led to two interviews; the original account was immediately rejected

From an HR perspective, this is a real issue. ATS systems are supposed to streamline the process, but they’re not always as seamless as they seem. While they help sort through massive amounts of resumes, glitches like this can make qualified candidates slip through the cracks. I always advise applicants to double-check their submissions and follow up with the recruiter/HR contact if possible. r.

Wow I had no idea they weren't uploading the correct resume which is a shame. I have heard lots of people talk about getting rejection without explanation though so now it makes a lot more sense.
