You have the skills. You have the experience. But your phone isn't ringing. Why? In the world of AI recruitment, you might be digitally invisible.
Here are the top 5 reasons your profile is being filtered out before a human ever sees it.
1. You Are Using PDF Images
If you saved your resume as an image-based PDF (like from Photoshop), many older scanners see it as a blank page. Always use text-based PDFs or Word docs.
2. Your Keyword Density is Low
If a job description mentions "Project Management" five times, and you only mention it once, the AI assumes you aren't an expert. Mirror the language of the job posting.
3. You Have "Ghost Gaps"
Unexplained gaps in employment dates can lower your automated score. Be transparent. Label gaps as "Freelancing," "Upskilling," or "Sabbatical" rather than leaving them blank.
4. Your Location is Vague
Many algorithms prioritize local candidates. If you are looking for remote work, explicitly state "Remote" in your location field. If you are willing to relocate, say so in your summary.
5. Your "Rave Score" is Under 70%
On Rave Recruiter, we give you a transparency score. If your profile is incomplete, you rank lower in employer searches. Uploading a video intro or completing your skills section can boost your visibility by 200%.
