I personally think the hiring managers should check the resumes not non-technical recruiters. The recruiters block many positions from being filled because of their tricky behavioral questions and the lack of understanding of the field they are hiring for. Hiring managers can sense any serious flaws besides their technical ability to understand applicants' background. Once a recruiter asked me "what is the most important work you have done?", there is no way not to get technical in answering this question at least using specialized terms and concepts, and she wasn't technical Sure I can say I solved ... optimized ... published ... but this cannot be said without any technicality. Weird questions!!!!!
