I've only paid attention to cover letters for junior positions, mainly to evaluate communication skills.

Do you not consider communication skills important for senior positions?

Some of the worst companies I ever worked at didn't value communication skills for senior positions, and I couldn't leave those roles fast enough!

I haven't hired for senior positions, but I would say that communication skills matter most at the top and bottom, less so in the middle.
