Another issue I have is that any pre-written material is a very poor indicator, in particular when candidates are handled to us by a recruiting agent.
Their resume is sometimes doctored up to a point it half of it doesn’t make sense, or at least is inflating a lot their role and what they actually did.
Reading a cover letter in that light is only indicative of someone who can write cover letters. I never got to hire someone for that skill, so the value is through the floor to me.
