A recruiter in Austin let slip that 75% of resumes get tossed before a human ever sees them, and I had no idea it was that brutal
She said the software screens for exact keyword matches in the job listing, so if you write "managed a team" but the post says "led a team," you might be gone, and now I literally copy their wording, has anyone else tried this and actually gotten callbacks?

The thing about copying their exact words is that it gets you past the software but can make your resume read like everyone else's, which matters later when a real person does look at it. Mixing their phrasing with your own numbers and results gives you both the match and something that stands out. So use their words where it fits, but keep your actual story in there too.
