If I may give the perspective from the other side of the job board, here in France: We pay hundreds or thousands per month, and are flooded with immigrants applications, none of which we can drop before ensuring that they do, indeed, need a visa. When I say flooded, it’s 99% of applications from foreign people who need a visa (and discrimination by address is equally illegal).

So yes, we have quantity over quality with those job boards, LinkedIn and so on, and we had to hire someone to deal with the flow.

Genuine clarification question:

Is that "hundreds of thousands" per month, as in salaries >$1.2 million per year? or do you pay some developers less than $1000/month?

Or are you paying "hundreds or thousands per month" to applicant filtering services?

Or do you have "hundreds or thousands" of different employees receiving a salary every month?
