I used to look at them to see if the person could write. This was pre-AI
I assume it's a default setting of whatever recruitment software company's are using but don't quote me on that
There are spaces on application sites that do give you access to upload a cover letter, I do not see that as a cover letter is required. I have seen one or two websites where a cover letter was required per the job description. Something along the line of upload résumé and a cover letter. Other than that, I don’t upload cover letters.
I ask for cover letters as writing samples. You’d be surprised how many people submit cover letters with several typos and don’t change placeholder text like “COMPANY NAME”. If they don’t pay attention to detail on a one- or two-page letter, I can’t expect them to be detail-oriented at work.
I would imagine many people are doing them with AI or ChatGPT. Why do them for this? If you’re going to see it on the cover letter you’re probably going to see it on the résumé.
