Of course. And they never did. The first filters were CV and motivation letter.
When I joined only 5% of applicants were hired. And we did hire 200+ per year not long after that. So I suspect 1000+ applicants is nothing new.
I'm also not necessarily opposed to outsourcing part of the selection process. It just pains me to read that being a gamer helps and using a mouse as opposed to a track pad. Kura appear to be treating applicants like aspiring pilots not like professionals. An interview and a sim evaluation is all it should take. I know we are not the only ones doing it this way but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it. Before anyone says it: I'm aware a psychological assessment of some sort is now required by the EU.
