What if your file won’t even get into the ATS?

Alles that you’re very technical, might even offer engineer any solution I want.

Hiring managers are usually not this kind of nerds.

Why won't a PDF generated by LaTeX get into the ATS?


I don’t know but I’ve noticed too. For me it’s a feature, I’m invisible to companies that use shitty ATS software where I likely would enjoy working anyway.


You render it to PDF and upload that. You don't just send people a latex source file.


The generated pdf is what ats doesn’t like. Don’t know why but I’ve noticed too.


Which ATS do you use that doesn't accept PDFs?


It accepts PDFs. It can't parse LaTeX-generated PDFs. No idea why. And that's not a specific one, it has been most ATSs in my experience.
