You know what we do with cover letters?

Throw them in the trash.

You work in HR hiring software devs or working with recruiters?

I work with recruiters to hire engineers.

So not the standard HR dept someone would find on LinkedIn or Indeed or any of the other job boards.

Thanks for the input.

To be fair, the recruiter usually throws it away for me first.

I do also handle a number of directly incoming resumes.
