This posting named 10 required skills. The resume matched 8 of them.
A missing term here is not a defect in the resume. It is a real gap against this specific posting, the kind every candidate has against every posting they did not write their career around. Adding a skill that is not genuinely true of you would raise this number and lose the interview; the model cannot tell the difference, the interviewer can.
