Lol. If all you can give me is a crap letter that says nothing about you and just lists what I wrote in the ad and how excellent you are at it, then I'm going to go with the people who excitedly told me about their actual experience and related interests. Don't see anything shameful about that.
CV is nice except that most people have a list of "Senior Software Engineer at XYZ" and that's it. Doesn't tell me anything, so again, if that's what you're going with, I'm going to prefer the person who took the time to actually talk about their related experience and interests. LinkedIn is nice but same problem as with CVs.
Seems like you think everyone has perfect detailed CV and LinkedIn profiles... Nope. It's mostly crap that says nothing. If your CV/LinkedIn can take the role of the cover letter then sure, no problem, but I don't see that often.
Not sure how the recruiter's notes about your nice friendly outgoing personality and good English level would help me understand your experience and interests related to the job, but yeah sure lol.
No crappy ATS at our company, BTW. Applications go to the inbox and are handled by real people.
