I agree with you on the recruiters point, heck most searching through resumes today is keyword based. Wouldn't it make sense to have something similar to match.com for employers and employees?
I agree that it's all keyword based. I think it's because machines can only capture the objective factors of a job search. Things like : "will you get along with the team", do you like the people you'd be working with, etc are very subjective and not easily captured by computers.
Meeting people at events, getting recommendations from other people you trust allow one to evaluate the position at a much more subjective level and make an estimation of the human-elements of working at the startup.
