If an employer doesn't review my resume and consider if my experience could be a fit in their organization then I don't want to work for them anyway. They know their needs and organization better than me and it's likely that half of the job description is fluff anyways.

Usually when an employer thinks I could be a fit, they call and we chat and see if it makes sense to continue talking. The resume and job application is just meant to be a signal of "hey I might be interested & qualified in what you're doing" if they can't be bothered to put in any effort, it's probably a sign they won't put any effort into making an enjoyable workplace either.
