"White fonting" is a résumé hack where job seekers copy relevant keywords or the job description, paste it in their résumé, and change the font color to white. The hope is that AI bots will read the hidden text and surface the résumé for human review.
Applicant tracking systems (ATS) and AI are increasingly used in the hiring process, making it harder for candidates to stand out.
While white fonting may help your résumé get past initial AI screenings, it's a risky tactic. Recruiters may still catch it and view it as dishonest, potentially harming your chances.
