Years ago I've been on the receiving end of applications. One hard requirement was "has to have a work permit to work in country $X". Over 100 CVs right in the virtual /dev/null for not meeting that requirement. I can only imagine with full-remote there is even more noise. In this year's Google Summer of Code we saw the first cover letters written by ChatGPT, utterly unqualified students not even mentioning the job. I'm no longer impressed seeing high applicant numbers.
