Problem

Applicants write for humans. Hiring funnels first parse resumes with ATS and ranking systems that flatten layout, map section headers to taxonomies, and weigh proximity of verbs to metrics.

Solution

Hired by an Algorithm turns parser behavior into concrete document contracts: context density, canonical section schemas, and optical stream flattening — so resumes survive the algorithmic gate without sacrificing clarity.
