To make matters worse, there’s been a surge in “fake” candidates—especially in engineering—pretending to be local.

In fact, resumes can’t answer the two most important questions:Is this person positioned correctly for my unique company?..And are they a high performer? At the end of the day, the most useful parts of the resume are the contact info and the white space. Neither of which AI can provide much value in fixing.
