You’ve worked hard to make yourself findable in the Bitcoin community over the past days and weeks, but what about the recruiters’ software?
Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan CVs and filter out candidates before a human ever sees them. And if it’s not an ATS system, it’s Claude or other AI agents. Until those systems become mores sophisticated, they will just look for keywords that match the job description.
If your CV doesn’t include those words, it’s likely to be rejected automatically, no matter how qualified you are.
That’s why you should never use the same CV for every job application. Adjust it. Highlight the skills and experience most relevant to each role. And always include a short cover letter to show genuine interest and context for the specific company and position.
There are plenty of tools to help with this, including our CV Doctor, built specifically for Bitcoiners, to make sure your application is optimized and discoverable.
The CV Doctor is part of Bitvocation’s Career Hub (which is on discount until the end of Jobtober).

👉 Use our CV doctor or ask your favorite AI which formats are best for ATS readability and see if you have to make some changes to your CV. Believe it or not, small details like file type and font size can make the difference between being read or rejected. Read our thorough article on this here.
It might be the difference between getting filtered out or getting found.
