In my last job search which ended 2 weeks ago. I wrote one good cover letter per day, sent directly to both the job poster and the application if it was possible to post a letter. Then I spent 20 min spamming my CV at anything remotely relevant. 2 interviews came from cover letters, 2 from spamming my CV and one came from an inbound recruiter who contacted me. The offer that I accepted came from the inbound message from a recruiter. It was still worth applying to the other jobs because I was able to use my offers to negotiate a higher salary. The cover letters had a higher success rate per application than just sending my CV, but just sending the CV takes 1-2min whereas a cover letter is half an hour, so spamming the CV is a better use of time. Job search lasted 6 weeks, but the last 4 of those were focusing 100% on my interviews and not applying for more.
