HR recruiters will respond by putting up other roadblocks to return things back to a manageable volume, most likely by requiring one of the much-hated automated coding tests as a screening step before a résumé will be considered, and then everybody loses out. What this person is doing should be considered highly anti-social and inconsiderate.
