Article in the SMH about employers increasingly using automated software to pre-screen potential job candidates. If your cv doesn't contain particular keywords, you get a computer generated rejection letter that gets automatically sent to you. The software mentioned in this article is called TurboRecruit, put out by Recruit Advantage. Companies already using this technology include Coca-Cola Amatil, Centrelink, Sydey Water and the Department of Defence.
Employers are also increasingly using software to assess an applicant's psychological make-up online. So your cv may get rejected before ever being sighted by a human.
