# Nobody read your CV

Original title: Ваше резюме никто не читал. Откуда в IT отказ через 4 минуты

Tier C (Weak signal): A frontend developer's Habr column that mostly relays hh.ru, Habr Career, US survey and Stanford figures; his own aggregator data (10,090 vacancies) adds a little, with no method shown.

Summary based on the full text.

## In short

A Habr column (22 October 2026) by a frontend developer who changed jobs in August and built an aggregator that now holds over 10,000 active Russian IT vacancies. He argues that most rejections in today's market come from mechanics (automated filters, dead vacancies, hidden salary bands, entry-level squeeze) rather than from anyone reading the CV. He frames this with market data from hh.ru, Habr Career, SuperJob, US layoff trackers, a New York Fed survey and Stanford research, all cited rather than produced.

## Key numbers

- 4.4 / 14.2 / 27.4: CVs per IT vacancy on hh.ru in 2021, 2025 and September 2026 (cited)
- -56%: change in Habr Career vacancies in the first half of 2026, while active job seekers rose 69% (cited)
- 651 of 10,090: vacancies in the author's aggregator flagged as likely dead or reposted
- 17%: vacancies in the author's base open to juniors or people without experience
- 58%: US hiring managers screening CVs with AI this summer, up from 35% a year earlier (cited survey)

## What it reports

- Cited market data: hh.ru CVs per IT vacancy 4.4 in 2021, 14.2 in 2025, 27.4 in September 2026; vacancies down by more than a third in a year. Habr Career first-half vacancies -56%, job seekers +69%.
- Cited pay: SuperJob average IT salary +3.9% in a year against 5.3% inflation. From 2026, accredited Russian IT firms pay 15% social contributions instead of 7.6%.
- Cited AI effects: US tech firms announced 166,000 job cuts January to September, 54% more than a year earlier; AI named in 21% of cuts. New York Fed services survey: 61% of firms use AI, 4% laid off because of it, about 15% hired fewer. Stanford: employment of 22-25-year-olds in AI-exposed jobs trails others by 19%, up from 15% a year earlier.
- Fast rejections come from screening questions at application and from model-based ranking; a cited US survey says 58% of hiring managers now screen CVs with AI, up from 35%.
- Own data: a dead-vacancy detector flags 651 of 10,090 vacancies; salary bands appear in 12% of his vacancies; 17% are open to juniors, with almost twelve middle-level vacancies per no-experience vacancy.
- Ontario requires disclosure of whether a posting is a real vacancy from 1 January 2026, for firms with 25 or more staff.

## How they got it

Mostly secondary sources linked in the post. The author's own figures come from his aggregator, which scrapes hh.ru, Telegram channels and company career pages, merges duplicates and scores vacancy liveness. The detection rules are described only in outline.

## Limits

- Most numbers are relayed, not produced; readers should check the original sources.
- The aggregator's coverage, deduplication and dead-vacancy rules are not documented; the author notes the first detector version misfired.
- Written from the job seeker's side, with advice rather than analysis.

## Why it matters for companies

For HR and talent teams the column is a snapshot of how the Russian IT market looks from outside: candidates assume nobody reads their CV, see stale postings and hidden bands, and find the junior entry step largely removed. The point on junior roles links AI-assisted middle engineers to fewer entry hires, which raises a pipeline question for any firm that still needs seniors in five years. Ontario-style rules on real vacancies and pay disclosure are a sign of where regulation may go.

## Key passages in translation

> За четыре минуты резюме не успел бы прочитать ни один живой человек. Его и не читали)

No living person could have read the CV in four minutes. And nobody did.

> Лестница вроде есть, но нижние ступеньки у нее спилены.

The ladder seems to be there, but its bottom rungs have been sawn off.

> То есть ИИ пока не столько выгоняет тех, кто уже работает, сколько не пускает новых.

So far AI is not so much pushing out those already employed as keeping new people from getting in.
