The truly diabolical way is to add an image to your resume somewhere. Something discrete that fits the theme, like your signature or a QR code to your website. Then hide the white text behind that. A bot will still scan the text just fine… But a human reader won’t even see it when they highlight the document, because the highlighted text will be behind the image.
I wouldn’t do that on your resume. Lots of these systems detect hidden text and highlight it for reviewers. I probably would see that as a negative when reviewing them.
hypothetically, how would one accomplish this for testing purposes.
Put the LLM instructions in the header or footer section, and set the text color to match the background. Try it on your résumé.
