Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs (lemm.ee)

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

Countless recruiters give some very basic advice in person and online, and they almost always say to put skills in decreasing order of importance. Job applications are god awful, but I really don't think being asked to follow basic instructions is a big ask. Blame companies, not recruiters.
