Jobscan

Jobscan is dedicated to helping job seekers navigate the modern hiring landscape with a simple but powerful mission: to make job searching easier and more effective. Jobscan was born out of a common frustration. In 2013, founder and CEO James Hu was on his own job hunt when he realized that companies were using software, known as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), to automatically scan and filter resumes for keywords before a human ever saw them. This discovery led him to build a tool for himself to beat the "resume black hole" and tailor his applications to get noticed. The success of this personal project sparked the idea for Jobscan, which has since grown into a trusted resource for millions of job seekers worldwide.
