Wow... So you are expected to feel ghosted/rejected 100 times a week, and upwards to 1500 in total? I wonder how healthy that must be for your psyche...
I went thru several months of it. Even with my anxiety meds, it felt like I was losing my mind.
Try multiple different periods of years of it... :/
Sucks, man. (got something now, though)
And people like that boss doesn't even realize he's celebrating his own inefficiency and incompetence when declaring they'll go through that many applications without hiring somebody. Why do you want to be bad at finding talent and why do you want people to know you can't recognize skill?
They're probably not going through that many applications, they'll be using a screening company or system that's dropping every applucation that doesn't have whatever the magical combination of keywords is in this particular case. I can only imagine it's git even worse with the use if LLMs for screening.
