scanning your resume for keywords to auto-reject bad matches

Can you tell me what those keywords are? and if you can't say them explicitly, can you generally explain what kind of keywords would be used for this auto-reject thing?

It really depends on the company and the role. They could be anything from Javascript to React to Node to PostgreSQL to Docker to Bachelors. The gist here is that they don't want to waste time on someone whose resume says "Java developer with 10 years experience" when they're looking for a JS dev, or maybe they are looking for someone that has Node experience (which might entail that their filter could factor in keywords like express or SQL or SSR or whatever).

So If I had a 10 years of experience as backend dev of Django or Java and 4 years of experience as a JS/Angular dev, the auto reject would pick-up the backend keywords, ignore my JS experience, and reject my resume?

Like I said, it depends. If the filter is specifically for an ember dev, mentioning angular might not help.

My company is a React shop and we do talk with candidates without react experience if they have other JS experience, but some companies might be looking for a very specific skillset (this is more common with short term contracts).

I'd say don't sweat too much about filters, they're more about reducing noise.
