List the 3 ATS filter keywords from your Posting Intel section — these are what recruiter Boolean searches use

Pull your last 3 job titles. Do they signal the target role?

List every compliance framework you've worked with (BSA, TRID, RESPA, HMDA, UDAAP, Fair Lending, HOEPA/HPML, ECOA, CAN-SPAM...)

List every named tool or platform (Encompass LOS, nContracts, Mavent, ServiceNow, Archer...). These are the terms recruiters Boolean-filter by.

Note any certifications you hold or are pursuing: CRCM, CCBCO, or CMCP. These are explicit filters in mortgage compliance postings.
