I think it's basically become de rigueur, standard HR advice at this point. The the amount of fake job listings is off the charts, to the point you should assume it's fake until proven otherwise (on this side of the pond anyway)
Yeah I never apply to job ads these days unless I already know someone at the company. It's a complete waste of effort.
It is funny how 10 years ago, this situation would be perfect for some startup to disrupt the market but they just don't come anymore. Innovation is dead.
