A lot of resumes are not even for the job she posts. Bots and other 3rd party recruiters are also trying to game the system so they drown real candidates. When a resumes is from her link, there are high chances it's a real person who took the time to read the job description.

    > Really? You don’t see how a recruiter would miss things if there’s 100+ spam/totally unqualified resumes for every legitimate one? Your comment makes no sense. You're arguing that a recruiter should miss 100% of all contacts because otherwise they would miss things. It's like arguing to throw the baby out with the bath water because otherwise your recruiter would miss things like the soap.
