Resume screening still sits at the center of most hiring strategies in the United States. Not because it is flawless, but because it solves a real operational problem. Volume.  By 2026, many employers face wider candidate pools, higher applicant velocity, and tighter expectations around time to hire. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job openings in professional and business services remain structurally higher than pre-2020 levels, even as hiring slows in some sectors.  Against that backdrop, resume screening functions as the first serious decision point in recruitment.
