I think the reason for your second case is that many recruiters search a particular skill set rather than a title.

So searching keyword Java would match those who put JavaScript in their profile, hence your profile turns up.

If they search for "back end developer", they would get better matches, but again many "back end" devs don't put "back end" in their profiles.
