Get your resume. HR looks up your name. Throws out the resume. It could be fun if you can get an interview. It might hurt you though.

Get your resume. HR looks up your name. Throws out the resume. It could be fun if you can get an interview. It might hurt you though.
If HR is going to throw it out because of the title alone, they're going to be obnoxious to deal with even in the scale of HR departments.
Or they are just busy. A pile of a hundred resumes and two open positions usually means you disqualify quickly.
Sometimes we need to pay rent and deal with obnoxious HR departments.
This is just not something that actually happens.
Can you reassure me then with the data that backs up your claim? Because in my very long career I've seen a lot of people use heuristics when deciding who to follow up with.
"According to a 2018 CareerBuilder survey, 70% of employers check out applicants’ profiles as part of their screening process, and 54% have rejected applicants because of what they found."
HR are not going to reject an incredibly experienced senior guy with a CV as long as your arm because of the title of a blog post. Your quote doesn't even suggest they would, and I'm not going to cite any evidence because it's honestly just a patently absurd proposition.
