How this list is built

Every posting we crawl for Project Manager roles runs through the same rule-based extractor SteadyCV's resume check uses — no LLM, no invented terms. A term only counts if it's confidently identified in the posting text itself: a named tool, an acronym, something inside the requirements section — not guessed from context. We rank by how many distinct postings mention a term, not how many times it's repeated in one, so a single wordy posting can't dominate the list.
