I don't enjoy the genre of hiring managers writing self-servicing articles like this. I think a lot the issues they might face in receiving applications are on their end. For instance, are applicants writing "to whom it may concern" because they lack details on the position? Most applicants probably would like to turn in the best application they could, where is the mutual disconnect preventing them from meeting your expectations?

I had similar thoughts. It seems the post is more than a couple years old (and it's certainly fair to apply via email) but is hiring really done by a manager opening up raw emails?

I expect very often this is exactly how it's done though if you have HR the applications will probably be received by HR first.
