Keyword Stacking

[ SLANG ][ AI ][ JOB APPLICATIONS ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: AI CultureCLUSTER: AI Hiring

Deliberately packing a resume or application with specific keywords an AI screening system is expected to search for, optimizing for the algorithm rather than for how a human reader would judge the document.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Rewrote my resume with heavy keyword stacking and started getting way more callbacks."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named by job seekers and career coaches once it became clear AI screening tools rewarded keyword density, treating resume writing as an optimization problem the same way SEO treats web content.
