Is cover letter important? Do hiring managers/recruiters read those?
Nice. But as a hiring manager, this is the last thing we want. Flooded with auto submitted Resumes. I posted a job recently and got 100+ resumes in 2 days and 99% were not even remotely close to being a good fit. I struggled to sort through so many Resumes to find someone worth interviewing. The problem is that with so much noise, good candidates may get ignored or rejected by mistake. And the cycle continues. I get…

There's noise all around happening.
Maybe the problem is that spamming people is free.

What’s our alternative? It doesn’t seem to be “carefully consider and apply to a handful of highly relevant postings”. I don’t see the downsides for candidates to play the numbers game.
win-win-win situation for every party, they got me my last two jobs in Vienna

We don't even have the job posted publicly anywhere and we get >100 submissions per day. Many are duplicates. I've found some that with some minor research turn out to be foreign organized crime. A large number of them had the exact same cover letter with changes in the names and past jobs.
Not only is it difficult to find candidates that actually fit the job role, it's hard to go through any that are even real people.
I've told many friends of mine to use connections and not online job postings because it's basically impossible right now with the automated resume submission companies.
And then the candidate management tools such as lever told me that no, every one of those candidates that applied were real people -- even when I provided proof that at least 40 of them were linked to a single organized crime group out of China.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You are the reason people go for these kinda solutions. Hiring process is complete bs.
