Job posting: "If you aren't an exact fit on paper, please apply anyway".

Hiring Manager: I can train the skills if the person is right and has a solid foundation

HR recruiter: I don't want to actually have to look through all of these resumes to find "close" matches.

Hiring Manager: Okay, fine, then just forward me all the resumes you get, and I'll look through them!
