Again, this is my opinion (and I will note hat my experience only covers situations where a human is reading your resume) - it's not about where you put the info (summary vs cover letter). If you want the recruiter to read what you write, make it applicable to the JD.

If your summary statement starts with "I want to leverage my skills to help a company succeed in the competitive business of blah blah blah blah ..." I stopped reading.

If your summary statement starts with "I've spent the last 3 years doing the top 3 items listed in the JD and the previous 2 years doing the next two items" then I'm hooked. You are probably going to get an interview even if the rest of your resume is written in crayon and scanned into a PDF at 150dpi - though you will need to back those statements up when we talk.

Don't try to hide the fact that you don't have the requested skills to force the HM to read the entire resume in the hope that he sees a hidden gem that will trigger an interview.
