People who post job ads where you can browse them usually don't understand the job they are hiring for, hence the checklists and keyword screens. So you need to find a way to get in touch with those on the inside who do know, and can make decisions.

Also I think one should not use the keyword stuffed resume when going through backchannels. Personally I discount them, and focus on resumes with a record of getting things done in a related field.
