> just send them to the hiring manager Yes, please do. Spotting odd patterns in CVs is a good skill. Even with lots of garbage being funneled my way. The clearly hopeless or flat-out misplaced applications indeed do get rejected in seconds. For one role I was hiring earlier this year, I noted how a few [recruiter fed] CVs had a striking similarity. Same set of skills in the exact same order. Same wording in the skill descriptions. All coming from the same geographic region. After the third I wrote a remark about the CVs looking either plagiarised or coming off of a weird template. Mentioned the similarity explicitly on the fourth one, with a slightly acidic comment about clearly being a wrong fit for the role. Never saw a fifth one.
