when I was involved with hiring (as a dpmt manager), I only had to look at resumes that made it past HR. and that was still an overwhelming amount, and full of people completely unqualified for the position or just with absolutely fucking terrible resumes
I read every resume myself, but goddamn was the hiring process ever a time suck. some people were not only wasting our time but theirs as well what with how much they clearly didn’t give a shit about the interview. thankfully there weren’t many of those
most phone interviews were 20min, if it went well it’d go up to 40 maybe, and we’d have them come on site for a walk through of the shop and chat about things. again, the better it went the longer it went, but it was usually about 30min because if we had people coming in, we were already pretty sure we were hiring them and it was more of a just hanging out chatting thing while looking at neat stuff
For reference, we posted a job for 48 hours and got nearly 20k applications. Most were AI garbage, but there is no way a person could have gone through those in any reasonable time.
Hate to be on HRs side for this but my guess is it would be impossible to read every resume since every job posting is probably flooded with responses
