If you're starting a job search you may be sending your resume to dozens of potential employers. Those employers receive hundreds or maybe thousands of resumes every day. Increasingly, they're using artificial intelligence to screen those resumes and pick the candidates that seem likeliest to be a good match with the employer and the position.

In other words, an algorithm could eliminate you from consideration before a human ever gets to see your resume. So your resume should be designed to appeal to both human and AI evaluators.

That insight comes from Noam Mordechay, head of enterprise innovation at Gloat, a Tinder-like app for matching job-seekers with jobs used by Cisco, Oracle, and Dell, among others. The app is free to job-seekers and, Mordechay says, it also uses AI to help them chart a career path that fits their goals. "We're hearing more and more that different sites are using AI to screen job candidates, and more and more traditional recruiters are embracing it," he says. You're especially likely to have your resume screened by AI if you're applying for a job at a tech company, he adds.

How do you craft a resume that will impress AI? Here's Mordechay's advice:

1. Use standard fonts.

Some job-seekers think that an offbeat font will help them stand out from the crowd, but it's more likely to annoy hiring managers than impress them. And unusual fonts can confuse AI, making it hard for the software to parse out what you're saying about yourself. So stick to standard fonts such as Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. And, ideally, use 12-point type, although 11 or 10 is acceptable.

2. Break it up into concise sections.

That will make it easier for a human reader skimming through a stack of resumes to quickly determine whether yours warrants further consideration. And it will help the algorithm track its way through the information as well.

3. Avoid acronyms.

Only use acronyms that are universally recognizable. If you trained as a CPA or worked as a CEO, or if you specialize in HR or PR, feel free to say it that way. For anything less well-known, spell it out. If you're in doubt, err on the side of using full words.

Some acronyms are well known within specific industries or professions and you may be tempted to use them, both because you're confident any hiring manager for a job you seek will recognize them, and because their use identifies you as an industry insider. Resist the temptation, because even if the hiring manager is sure to recognize an acronym, the AI may not.

4. Avoid company-specific titles.

In these days of infinite customization, some job-seekers are creating a different version of their resumes for each of the companies they're applying to. That approach can make sense, but Mordechay says. That can be a useful idea, but watch out for titles that only exist at a specific company because AI may not recognize them.

5. Offer data, not story-telling.

"We see endless types of resumes," Mordechay says. "Some people are storytellers, but that's not necessarily good for AI because AI is designed to filter this out." Instead, focus on relevant facts, he advises. "For example: 'I led a team of 20 people for three years and we increased the company's revenue by 40 percent.' This is something AI can digest more easily."

6. Focus on skills.

AI is focused on specific skills, so you should be too. "There is a huge and growing bank of skills that AI knows about," Mordechay says. And, he adds, AI is getting better at looking beyond whether a candidate has a given skill or not.

"It used to be zero or one--do I have project management skills or not?" he says. Now AI also considers the age of a specific skill. "I've practiced this skill for five years, but haven't practiced it in the past six or seven years."

If that's true, that's one thing. But AI might misread your resume and think you haven't been using your skill or skills lately because the skill itself is only named once, he warns. In this case, repetition is your friend. "We need to make sure it repeats across different experiences and positions," Mordechay says.
