I had a lot of this last time I was looking for a new job! I applied to about 15 as well, heard back from a few quick no's but had only one interview which led to an offer.

Literally months later I then received about 6 interview requests! It blew my mind how so many companies were months behind.

Ebay (used to be) really, really bad for this. Over the course of 2-3 years I changed jobs twice.

On all occasions, a recruiter from Ebay reached out a month or two after I'd started my new job to ask me if I wanted to interview there.
