That's simply not true.

vast majority of companies

Based upon what data?

I've personally conducted over 2,500 interviews and hired many of them. That's what I look for. And no, I'm not in HR or a headhunter.

Jobsite/Jobserve are just shopping lists of skills. Even our own ads, by the time they've made it from us (actual technical people) through whatever means to actual ads (on the web/in the press), are like that. It's how things are done in the industry, at least for the kind of company that hires people its people don't already know (i.e. above a certain size).
