How do you guys beat the AI that is screening job applications? I found that if I apply somewhere I get rejected. Whenever a headhunter introduces me to a hiring manager they love my experience and I most of the times get an offer.

You touched on it but just need to literally always apply warm. If you care about the opportunity need to put in the effort to get headhunter / coffee chat / referral in.

If you don’t, with the way automated screening works, you might as well not even apply.

I think the lesson here is that many job offers come via a personal connection, especially for experienced hires.
Try to leverage your network, or continue using headhunters.

Make sure keywords from the job description are in your resume. You almost have to have a new resume for each job you apply for. Then keep a folder with that copy of your resume and the job description. It’s a lot of work but you get better results. Personal connection is better if you have that option. Personally I have not had luck with headhunters though.

This is probably a dumb question, but what do you have to do to be able to use a headhunter?

They need to believe you are have the skills/personality that is in demand for the companies they work with. They don’t want to waste everyone’s time pitching mediocre or poorly fitting candidates.
