The Truth About ATS Filters, Keywords, and Hiring in 2026

There’s a gap between what candidates think matters in their job search… and what actually gets decisions made behind the scenes.

And let me tell you something 👉🏽 it’s bigger than most people realize.

So I’m throwing open the door, bbs!

🎙️ I’m launching a new LinkedIn Live series: “If I don’t tell you, who will?”

Every week, I’ll sit down with hiring managers and recruiters to talk about what’s really happening:

✔️ What gets an immediate “yes”
✔️ What sneakily gets you ruled out
✔️ What candidates focus on that… doesn’t actually matter
✔️ And what to do differently right now

No fluff. No vague advice. No guessing.

Just the insider POV you’ve probably been missing.

Season 1 kicks off April 22 at 11a Pacific with my most favorite recruiter of all time (because, Meta), Jorge Hernández — and you’re invited. 🎊
