90 of those 100 applicants are unqualified and will not get interviews. 9 of the other 10 will be fake, or having someone obviously proctor the interview for them or even just straight up typing the questions into chatgpt and reading what it says word-for-word.
So yea, apply anyways.
Truth.
I hate on HR. But I do not envy them having to pour through thousands of shitty applications.
We got about 7 stage-2 interviews out of 2000 applications. (Stage 1 is just the introduction and checking if they're not a bozo. Stage 2 is actual dept folks)
