There are probably 300
This isn't really true. There are 300 people that might apply but only a few that ever get interviewed. If they are interviewing 300 people then the company doesn't even know what it wants.

The problem is that it doesn’t matter if you are one of the 300 that are most qualified, your resume may not even viewed or your application may not be seen. LinkedIn shows you both for Easy Apply.
In my niche, I was objectively one of the most qualified in the industry. But I heard crickets last year and the year before when randomly submitting my application to ATS’s.
Don’t cry for me. That was my “Plan C”. Plan A of using my network landed me two full time offers and one contract and my plan B of personal outreach to companies looking for my specific skillset led to two interviews and one offer all in less than a month.
Last year, I just answered one recruiter’s outreach and had an interview and offer that was a perfect fit within two weeks.
