What are the stats about the whole funnel? Where are applicants coming from? How long does it take for a company to respond to applicants?

And, this isn't really a stats question: Are these meaningful skilled jobs, or are they jobs that could be done by anyone with a pulse?

To try to understand, I suggest you try putting yourself in an applicant's shoes. Try applying to these companies yourself and keep a journal of how the interactions unfold. You'll learn something!
