> Tbf, I'd rather get a "we didn't review your CV" response than a template "we are continuing with other candidates :)" response.

Idk it sounds plausible that OP might just have been late to the party, and applied when the recruitment process was at the final stages.

I had a hiring manager tell me a couple weeks ago that I probably made it further because I applied late. All the people using AI and automation to apply are hitting the apply button early, and the laggards tend to be humans.

Its a perpetum mobile. Hiring managers use automation to filter candidates, coz its too many. Candidates see they dont even pass automatic filtering, so they apply with tailored CVs x10. This means even more CVs and more filtering and more CVs and more filtering and more CVs etc etc etc

Im curious at which point ppl will understand its counter productive.

Never, because they already know it is but fixing it requires both sides to deescalate in lockstep while individuals on both sides would benefit from not descalating
