I'm dealing with the same. I only hear back from maybe 1 in 10 ten companies. It's crazy. It was nowhere near this hard to get an interview 5 years ago as it is now.
It’s so hard to get anywhere nowadays!
Yes, I think is the answer here. Some places are only pretending to be hiring to make their store look better. Other places that actually are hiring are getting at least 100 applicants. It’s a game no one wins.
That’s ashame though as it’s such a waste of time for people!

I sweat it’s because companies are using AI to vet
OMG, yes. I've been applying everywhere and normally get a job quickly since I wait tables and I'm a bartender. I've applied for every job in a 45 minute radius of my house and I've heard back from 2 places. It's never been this hard to get a job before. I'm not sure what's going on lately weather it's so many applying, because they are on food stamps and they have to, or companies are not doing the business they used to.
It’s rubbish isn’t it! January-march is quite busy months though maybe!

Makes no sense to just collect resumes, recruiting cost. They may have out the hiring on pause or it may be a slow process for them

They're waiting for someone with 20 years experience to apply as a shelf stacker....

Yes! That happens all the time—sometimes signs are outdated, or they’re just building a resume pool for later. It’s frustrating, but you’re not imagining it. Networking or walking in directly can sometimes get more traction than just applying online.
