Once again, you're misunderstanding the goal of the system if you think that it's necessary to deliberately whittle down hundreds of good applicants through careful process to get a great hire.
Hint: you don't even need to evaluate most candidates at all. Random sampling is sufficient and provably bias free.

What do you send them as a response "sorry, we're going ahead with other applicants" - "you have not been selected this time" -- what happens if you start needing to dig through that pool of now rejected candidates? Peak humanity.

Like a human does. > Reminds me of something I heard once. >> Whenever I get a stack of resumes, I throw half of them in the trash >> I sure don't want unlucky people on my team. I was actually about to make the same joke.
