With the issue around a talent surplus, they might be getting more than 500 or 1,000 applications per post, but how many of those are actual quality applications vs people blindly hitting 'apply now' on LinkedIn? Even when I had to hire people during my full-time roles in the past, I remember being inundated with CVs but barely any were qualified to do what the position needed.
Very true! But the tools they use to sift through that many CVs are changing and so even if qualified applicants do apply, they might get lost if they don’t have the right keywords, etc.

I hadn't quite thought about that - gosh, I used to manually go through every single CV!!!
This kind of system definitely has its pros and cons!
