I find it hard to believe that 90% of the resumes is that bad. To be honest, I have never been in a situation where I have to recruit people.

You are basically saying that you don't send a simple email because people don't send you a proper resume. However, by sending you a resume they have already put in a lot more effort than you do. It comes across as very arrogant when you don't even send an automated mail. I would even argue that it IS arrogant.

There is no way to automate it with the systems we worked with. We receive the resume through their interface, it doesn't go directly to our Email and doesn't share the contact details directly.

Honestly, if you'd seen the kind of resumes we received you would not think most candidates put any effort at all. Like another person said here, it looks like most of them are spamming all job listing on those sites.

I have (tho admittedly, not in the tech sector). But I can believe it.
