Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs

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

What if the person is REALLY GOOD with Microsoft Word, though?

Then they applied for the wrong job. I haven't used a word processor at all in many years. Power point is (saddly) important, but no word processor. When I write docs markdown or restructured text is what i'm looking for, since both can link directly to the code.
