In the past, I received a significant number of responses when I applied to companies’ job portals, even without editing or updating my resume. However, in recent months, I have been applying for jobs for the past five months with a few or no AI edits according to the job description for better ATS, yet I have only received responses from one staffing agency but none in last 5 months.
any of you is experiencing similar experience when applying to financial or healthcare companies’ job portals?

I have concised my 15 years resume from 8 page to 5 pages,
Making random edits based on JD for better ATS. What else could be issue?

8 pages to 5? You've got a long career which is great, but only the last 10 years seem to matter these days.

Long resumes go to the back of the line. Cut it down to 2 pages max and just the essentials for the JD.

I am getting responses but it has been quieter now than earlier this year.

It is true that as ATS evaluation systems become increasingly sophisticated, there is a growing number of cases where candidates are unable to even secure an interview with a recruiter or hiring manager, which is the first step in the job search process.
Simply writing a concise resume is not a solution either.
I have enough experience in the job seeking process and possess significant expertise in crafting customized resumes.
I have with over 8 years of experience in Software Engineering field.
I would happy to help you if you wish.

Your 5-page resume is part of the problem, and equally an issue is the abysmal job market.
