> So many resumes are fake

Its a classic vicious circle: if your resume gets auto-dinged if it doesn't have the right keywords, applicants are highly motivated do lard up their resumes with keywords.

And then the companies observe they are getting tons of bogus resumes, and they think they can fix it by making the filters even harder to get through....

Everybody is incentivized to race to the bottom.

I have argued a variation of this so many times before. There are a lot of feedback loops amplifying noise in software job markets. It's terrible for everyone involved.
