> I keep seeing article after article from hiring managers about how they're FLOODED with applications. You can't be 'polite' to all those people, as most people don't have the attention span for all that.

I dunno. Being polite in the context of a job application is pretty basic: if the applicant didn’t make it to a phone screen, send them a polite form letter telling them that.

It doesn’t require much attention, just a little automation and caring enough to actually respond.

For those that made it to a phone screen but not past it, a polite rejection email is also sufficient.

This doesn’t seem like a lot to me.
