I've been passively searching, sending a resume, hitting click-to-apply here and there. For the 100 times or so Ive done this since March I've had only 2 responses and they were both automated replies of "not interested". I have a lengthy and compelling resume that has always served me well. I've never had any trouble finding a new position, save for 2008 and I still did well then even. From my perspective its as if the world has ceased to function or I've been put on some fictitious black list. I have never seen anything remotely like this.

Oh wow, I'm not the only one who goes through this!

A guy I know well is a senior level recruiter at a large firm. Earlier this year his company FIRED THE ENTIRE RECRUITING DEPARTMENT.

Let me guess: they will replace HR with AI automated interview stuff over the internet?

A quick thought: You could try to peek into the new world. They are not calcified (yet) and thus growing quickly, covering half of the world population. Surely they could appreciate your extended experience.
