It's not. But I think you might be able to use your energy in ways that don't make the noise problem _worse_. Sure, if you don't do it, somebody else might, that occured to me. So what can one do?

1. Perhaps pivot to building a tool that cross references companies hiring with people attending local user groups or conferences you're interested in, to show an overlap? That might give you a hint about what circles you could enter for networking. Manual, human networking. It'd still be work, but a place to start. Of course this is stuff that's better to start when you're still employed and interested in a change, not when you've been applying for months. But it's one idea.

2. Try to work the other side. Why do fitting candidates get filtered out? Can you build a better system than what companies are using already? I wrote another comment about just how hard hiring is with all this automated spam, I'd love a human solution. This is hard of course, but I think I won't be alone and many companies will have similar experiences. Might be a problem they want to pay money for, but it's arguably harder to get than from job seekers.

Just some ideas. I emphasise with the situation and it's cool that you're trying to do _something_. Don't let folks like me discourage you from solving the problem. But consider the feedback on your proposed solution and consider other options to solve it, perhaps.
