Join us in pioneering the next generation of nuclear reactors! You'll leverage your software skills alongside nuclear engineers to model, simulate, design, and deploy advanced fission power technology. You will work at the forefront of the nuclear industry, developing novel techniques to reach new levels of safety, efficiency, and resiliency. Come be a part of powering the future with advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy.
There is something up with your hiring system. I shared this post with a friend who applied, and they got an instant rejection. This is a data engineer with 4+ years experience in your stack and a degree in nuclear engineering to boot. Maybe not an ultimate hire but clearly not someone you should be auto-rejecting.
Thank you for flagging this, that definitely shouldn't be happening. Possibly we have an over-zealous spam filter. If you and your friend are open to it, please email me at pca@[company].com and I will personally look into it.
This is a classic example of why generic ATS filters and keyword-based AI fail both candidates and EMs. When the screening process is a black box, you lose high-signal candidates before a human even sees their CV.
I'm building Taknut (https://taknut.com) specifically to solve this for Engineering Managers. Instead of auto-rejecting, it uses a framework to generate interview guides rooted in the candidate's actual projects. It identifies specific technical proof points (like that nuclear engineering degree + specific stack experience) to help the EM ask deep questions rather than relying on a "Pass/Fail" bot.
If you're tired of "over-zealous filters" killing your pipeline, it might be worth a look to bring the human evaluation back into focus without losing time.
