I've tried this in the past a few times (when I could figure out the info), and always got told just to apply online like everyone else.

Yeah, I specifically wrote my resume to highlight my accomplishments + impact to the organization, and recruiters seem to be very annoyed by that. Most of the time, they edit my resume into a keyword dump.
- arenaninja 7y agoYes you need a keyword dump to get past the recruiter and accomplishments+impact for the hiring manager. Even for hiring managers knowing what technologies you used at your recent roles is helpful; they want to know how quickly you'd be able to get up to speed and it makes it easier to conduct technical interviews if they know which tech you're comfortable with. A summary section for tech isn't as helpful since it's unclear how long you used X or Y tech
