I optimized my resume by not sending it out anymore, and like magic no more rejections!
A lot of larger companies have AI-ish filters now. Make sure you align your resume to the job posting. Use the same words (if they’re true).
There's no way TO stop it. Companies are using AI to filter out resumes, which means that the filtering is completely arbitrary. The AI is out there rejecting perfectly qualified candidates, and if it was ever called out on any specific example it would just say "You're absolutely right! I shouldn't have done that" with zero change to behaviour going forward. This is just one more birth defect resulting from the digital thalidomide that AI companies are pumping into every aspect of our lives.

Is there any chance that you’re checking know on some of the criteria, such as do you live in the state of XYZ, are you legally entitled to work in this country, things like that? I find those are the biggest things that trigger an instant rejection. Or if there’s a question that says do you have X amount of years in whatever field. If you say no because you don’t and they require that many years you’ll get filtered out.
There’s also a strong chance that the role had already been filled internally or through referral. This happens more often than companies would like to admit sadly. You wouldn’t want to work for a company like that anyways, if it’s how they treat people.
