I'm a little confused, is this an ATS system that anyone actually uses? If not, I'm not sure how it's better than just asking ChatGPT to score your resume out of 100. Why would you want to optimize your resume for a system no one is using to score it?

I would assume at least hackerrank is?

I don’t think the point of a lot of this is to optimize your resume. It’s to show how arbitrary these systems are.

From my understanding this one is used for hiring tech workers only. The (very) widely used Workday application system for ex seems to have its own built-in ATS.

“I'm a little confused, is this an ATS system that anyone actually uses?”

You read my mind. If the answer is “no”, then we can ignore this.

		For one, if you go on to Hacker Rank's "Screen" page, they mention the product is used by Stripe/AirBnB/LinkedIn/Atlassian/IBM etc etc. I imagine that there's plenty more companies using it too. But I'd also assume that their competitors are doing something similar so I don't think we as an industry can just ignore that it's happening.

(Almost) everyone’s using some kind of ATS, every ATS is adding AI auto-ranking (and has been trying to for 15 years), and almost all HR people feel like they have too many obviously bad CVs to read. Whether or not someone is using this ATS specifically, if you submit several CVs to several places, your CV is going into at least one magical 8-ball.
