That's why I said if the skill is listed as a description in the experience (not literally the keyword), the "time range" would give you somewhat of an idea about the person. Key here is not listing just the skill, but what they actually did with that skill.
If you are a recruiter/manager that gives a call to everyone, then I appreciate what you do. But, wouldn't your job be much easier if you are able to understand the candidate's skill from the description without even talking to them? Filtering out inexperienced people would be much easier instead of just going by the skills section.
In the current market for IT folks, its not easy to get an interview. So you wanna give as much information in the resume to get that first call. This is from my personal experience in the last 6-10 months

I'm interested in both the candidate's skills and achievements. The list of skills is a quick and easy filter, but once past that, achievements deserve a lengthier explanation--and they may still reference skills.
Having hired for years in an IT-adjacent discipline, I like to see skills and achievements factored out, not unlike the way code or data structures should be factored.
A/B testing of resume structures might be interesting.
Wouldn't the application software filter out the keywords from the description?
@tarius
I don't know what application software you're referring to.
I meant like Workday, Greenhouse, ADP, etc.
@tarius
I'm not familiar with them. All of our resumes are screened by actual people.
