Actually software for parsing cvs and uploading details is a reasonably big business in the recruitment world I believe.

It's not very smart yet, or agents aren't. Or both.
As we all know, it does (or is made to do) some pretty dumb keyword matching. If you have "database" on your CV, you'll get pinged repeatedly for DBA roles. "SQL" will get you SQL Server DBA roles. CRM will get you all levels of roles using all CRM software, as well as 1st-line support for apps using any CRM package.
One of these CVs I must try the legendary "I have NEVER used xxxxx" and wait for the xxxxx contract offers.
