Founders on r/SaaS say every resume now reads perfect and nobody can verify a line of it
Reddit r/SaaS·low signal
A widely-discussed r/SaaS thread describes the now-standard loop — paste the job ad into ChatGPT, get back a resume tuned to it — and argues the document has stopped carrying any verification signal for hiring managers. It's an anecdote, not data, but it's a first-hand read from the people actually screening candidates, and it lines up with the broader collapse of low-cost written credentials as a filter. The practical consequence for anyone hiring in 2026 is that screening cost shifts entirely to work samples and live evaluation, because the cheap async filter no longer discriminates.
