Are you really going to be happy with 5 minutes of effort from a recruiter? If you got 5 minutes of their effort, then you’d ask for 15 minutes from an engineer. You want these jobs more than they care about you as a candidate. If one of the companies that sent you a rejection had instead hired you, would you be insulted about how they treated the other candidates? No, you’d probably take the job and be happy you got it. It’s a game and you’re each playing by your own rules.
