Its a bit pedantic but if your "hiring manager"* doesn't know Red Hat from Linux you don't want to work there.

If a recruiter or HR rep doesn't know Red Hat from Linux they need to find another field to recruit in.

(a hiring manager is usually the person a new hire directly reports to, not the person doing initial resume screening)

The problem is that tons of resumes are getting rejected by ATS' due to low keyword match scores without ever passing across human eyes.

This was a state government position where the "hiring manager" is "the person who looks at resumes and decides who to call to be interviewed" rather than the direct supervisor of the new hire.

Maybe I used the wrong phrase or maybe it just means different things in different places.
