I seriously believe a human can view a non-standard resume and make a better judgment about it than a machine. And yes, I have sat down with a stack of resumes. I used to own my own company. That’s exactly how I know someone with a resume that doesn’t fit the traditional template an AI might care about, especially if they have a flair for design, would get my attention as a good candidate.

I also wouldn’t care if their name was Shonda or Muhammad. AIs, on the other hand, reject people with “ethnic” names.

Happy now?
