Earlier in my career I would no joke add an invisible layer to my resume with the job description from the company I was applying to copy pasted in it in order to beat the auto keyword scanning.

Seemed to work really well specifically with city government jobs (New York), based on the response/application ratio. I'm guessing it may have to do with their antiquated systems.
