I trash every application that doesn’t include one. Because most likely they’re just spamming openings, and didn’t read anything about the position.

Every applicant that included a cover letter was way above median quality, and worth interviewing.

I might miss some decent people this way, but it’s been a very helpful first-level filter of applicants.

I suspect most of us have had semi-competent recruitment agents doing the first stage filter for us.

When I look at a CV ahead of a 2nd or 3rd stage interview I take it for granted that they are serious about the role and qualified for it.
