Maybe as a sort of different way at looking at this, what if the hiring process had a different sort of architecture focused more on what you can do rather than arbitrary resume terms?

First, you start by making a demo showcasing your skills. It has to be something web-accessible.

Then, you use this demo as your application to jobs.

You can also just submit your demo to a pool, and companies can review submissions to the pool, and contact you if they like it.

Your work becomes the application, not your PDF.
