Eliminate ATS Systems for Job Application and Resume Submissions

Many trying to get into the workforce are chronically subjected to not knowing if their resumes have been blocked by ATS systems. For those who do not know, ATS systems are Applicant Tracking System (ATS) used to filter or exclude resumes and electronic applications. My proposal is to get rid of ATS systems for a fair chance for all Americans to have their resumes given a chance for review by employers. Some speculate DEI and ESG parameters can be used with ATS systems to filter and exclude certain resumes. If this is true, it is absolutely necessary to get rid of ATS systems. Another suggestion is to make a policy where DEI and ESG parameters cannot be set or to make ATS system parameters and algorithms transparent so individuals who are submitting resumes known what to avoid in their resumes and how to get past this system. In conclusion, it’s absolutely crucial that resumes are never blocked from reaching an employer as it can be the means of survival for applicants.
