Help me out here: What's the modern way to hire? Because if it's not asking for a cover letter, you as an applicant are one of 160 low-effort resumes we've got

Help me out here: What's the modern way to hire? Because if it's not asking for a cover letter, you as an applicant are one of 160 low-effort resumes we've gotten this week. Do we build a ML to try to parse all these and then ask it to score everything? Because I hear a lot of people in this thread saying that's exactly what they hate about hiring.
