I hire with anonymous data. I would look at a statement like '25 years experience' on a CV and completely ignore it, as I have no idea how competant the candidate is based on this. I would look for the key technical words and impact statements in the CV to show depth of experience rather than general statements like this.

My god, "key technical words" and "impact statements". Those likely have a negative correlation with competency.

Competancy is assessed at interview, not at sift. The sift simply identifies that candidate meets the minimum possible spec for the role and can be interviewed. They may end up well exceeding the job spec after competancy based interview.
