I hate embellishing on resumes. Unfortunately when the game went from humans filtering resumes to automation/keyword filtering, it's and unfortunate requirement

  That's a fair point. We do very little algorithmic/automated filtering, so I'm biased in my predilection.

    If you use a headhunting firm, they certainly do.

      We don't, at least to my knowledge.

  Required keywords "Agile/Scrum" does not appear on this resume, rejected. Is it really that bad now? If I were applying for employee roles today it would probably never have occurred to me that including "Agile" as a buzzword could be important to avoid getting filtered immediately. I can understand filtering someone for having no apparent experience in the main programming language you use if you have many other applicants who do. Filtering for something that basically every employer has claimed to do for about 200 years but no two of them would agree on what it means seems silly though.
