And the above comment is how the candidates with the most opportunities will see things, meaning your system to find the best candidate by default filters out valuable candidates that also value and are rational about their time but great for finding 'wage slaves' that will accept unreasonable demands of their time and don't really have other options. Gee, what a funny, totally unexpected result for the company ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh wow they have so many opportunities that they need to go on websites and click buttons to apply? The ones with all these opportunities coming out of their ears are getting recruited, not spamming websites.
Setting up a spam magnet just attracts spam, not the “candidates with the most opportunities.”

Some companies are doing interesting things but unless a good worker already has some kind of connection through their network they're still going to make a direct approach to start the process. Particularly for smaller companies this is very common. That doesn't mean a good and genuinely interested applicant won't have several other possibilities they're interested in exploring as well though.
