HR is the problem

The big problem is HR.

It's not all HR ... some of it is "recruitment consultants" who have heard the buzz-words but don't know what they mean.

Employers don't have time to read all the CVs, so they get the recruiters to filter the applicants, but the recruiters can only filter by ticking off the buzz-words until they find a match. Applicants who use the wrong term to describe a skill they have won't be put forward.
