UK Recruitment Glossary
Keyword Stuffing
In recruiter context
It does not work. Modern ATS systems flag this, and even when they don't, the recruiter sees the actual document. If the recruiter sees "Java" listed eleven times across three jobs and you've never used it, you're rejected — and often blacklisted at that agency. Use keywords naturally, in context, in the bullets that describe what you actually did.
