Artificial intelligence is having a profound effect on technological innovation in the HR industry around the world. Did you know that companies spend about $400 billion annually on HR tech? Corporations use AI-based software not only to streamline the resume review process, but also to reduce bias. Thanks to these technological advancements, online job postings create efficient hiring processes for both employers and applicants.

However, these systems aren’t perfect. Just one error could disqualify your application before a human even gets the chance to review it. Writing an AI-friendly resume is extremely important to make sure you don’t ruin your shot at the position.
