> If you have 1000 applications for every job, and you know that a bunch of these applications are "a bad fit", to put it mildly, you have to filter. And you cannot realistically give every resume a good, human look.

At 10 seconds per resume, it would take you 3 hours to go through all 1000 resumes. I don't know what you consider "good" and "human", but my human eyes could easily do good enough, fully manual pre-screening at a rate of 1 requisition per day.

At 10 seconds per resume, I would not assume that you're screening better than the LLM.

You could remove the least relevant resumes very quickly. Maybe not 10 seconds, but 30 seconds per resume for sure.

What I hear happens now: people apply for a "Senior Golang SWE" with 2 years of experience with C#. Or, relevant for hiring in the US, the job posting says the visa is required, but people apply without it anyway.
