That has been my experience as well; smaller, "boring" companies (that I still genuinely want to work for), project list attached to CV priorized according to the company -> response rate of > 70 percent

Domain experience helps tremendously, if only because it builds some rapport with the interviewer.

Deep customization of CV / project list is lost for larger companies because it never reaches a person who understands it, leading to the abysmally low response rate.
