You are assuming quality applicants are evenly distributed in terms of time of application - they aren’t. If you cut off at 100, you will only get a sample of people spewing fully automated application bots which mostly aren’t what you want.

replyAt least this would not force applicants to fine tune their applications to the latest LLM bullshit bingo.
