Out of curiosity, what skills or experience are your recruiters optimizing for while reviewing resumes?

Having a decade of experience and nearly 100% match with a fullstack job description (even down to microservices/event-driven systems) and getting a rejection without even a screening call means I either presented myself poorly or there's something else they're looking for that might not be advertised (or emphasized). In either of those situations, I would appreciate even a hint so I could improve my odds in the future, because rejections are getting tiring.
