01
Your name
A program that cannot find your name creates a record with no candidate in it.
02
Your email address
This is how they reply. Missing, you do not exist in the database.
03
Your phone number
Plenty of recruiters call before they write.
04
Your section headings
A parser matches your headings against a known list. “My journey” is not on it.
05
The dates on each job
Without two markers, a job cannot be sorted into any search by seniority.
06
Your employers
This is the name a recruiter filters on when they search by sector.
07
The reading order
If the contact block comes before your name, the record takes an address for a candidate.

Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Lever
Each has its own demands. Taleo loses whole blocks without a word; Greenhouse forgives more.
