Comment Re:this is not a fault of the search engine (Score 2, Informative) 642

It's problem with the search engine and that market is controlled by the recruiting agencies. The job posts what recruites place on the jobsites aren't really the recruitments what the recruites get from their client. The jobpost is created to attract certain number of the people to send them CVs. I recently (last friday) end up in big argument after one of the recruiter said I didn't had the skills for the post, even when I had them skills and even more. So I called them and asked the reason, which they couldn't provide, they just said that the market is saturated with the seekers and they only serve the client, not the applicant! If you have managed to create the ULTIMATE CV and filled it with all the essential information and experience, then you might have a change of getting pass of the recruiters. Note also that even if you have been on the market for 22 years and your last 4 years you been working as Enterprise Architect. The change of recruiter reading your CV is nearly nill. The recruiter comes to you and say that you don't have the experience from certain field, even if it stands there on BOLD CAPITAL letters or then they decide that you have wrong skills or no skills at all, even if your CV shows your progression and experience thru different fields of the IT. Thru the jobsites it's easy to get thousands of responses to one job. The HR industry hires the people who don't know what the job is or understand what the people say in their CV. Most of the give a 20 second glance on your CV and thats it. Problem with the job search engines is that those gives you too many false positives even if you give them specific parameters. The job adverts doesn't say really what they job is as it is hidden on HR business databases. How you could cure that is by opening the communications from the recruiters towards candidates and try to match them with the jobs on the market.
