I trash every application that doesn’t include one. Because most likely they’re just spamming openings, and didn’t read anything about the position.
Every applicant that included a cover letter was way above median quality, and worth interviewing.
I might miss some decent people this way, but it’s been a very helpful first-level filter of applicants.
