The 2026 ATS update is brutal. Most people don't realize that even 'clean' resumes are getting flagged if the keyword density isn't tuned to the new LLM filters. I've been auditing a few for free lately just to see the data—it's wild how many 10/10 candidates are getting auto-rejected for formatting.

Let's see how long it will take for companies to realize this madness doesn't convert into competent professionals. I'm betting 5 years.

Someone please help me understand how this is a net possitive.

What is proper formatting? You can have that and still be rejected so what is the answer? Also, Workday just got sued for discriminating against applicants based on their race or ethnicity.

I received an offer for 80k to work as a desktop engineer for TCS at one of their client’s locations. However, I have seen poor reviews for working at TCS and I’d like to get some feedback from anyone currently or had previously worked for that company. What is the environment like and has anyone been in a situation where the contract with TCS and the client ended and had trouble with TCS finding them a new role at the same pay?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
