Use an automated system to pick out keywords and phrases. Put first 25 in that stack aside. Send a rejection notice to everyone else. The issue is not finding a candidate, the issue is leaving everyone else hanging while you find that candidate.

I feel like such an automated approach is roundly criticized by HN on a regular basis. I guess my point is that when you're dealing with this, there are no popular solutions. Un-networked job seekers need thick skin.
