Cybersecurity Skill Gap Issue or Lazy Talent Acquisition?

The author of the post mentions having applied to over 50 cybersecurity jobs in the past 6 months, ranging from intermediate to director levels, without securing an interview. Despite having 13 years of experience in cybersecurity, including 9 years in Threat Hunting and Threat Intelligence, and adjusting their CV to be compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS), they only received automatic rejections or messages indicating a preference for another candidate. Only on 2-3 occasions did a recruiter contact the author after finding their CV in the rejection pile.
