I totally get that it can be overload or even crushing for hiring managers, personal department people, and serious recruiters.

But as things look, companies absolutely want that useless oversupply, as if they want to actively devalue and disrespect people. Take Siemens for an example. They have introduced AI into thier hiring portal. They offer to give you messages about new roles. But that subscription does not even allow to filter their open positions by continent. If I look for a job in Germany, I get open positions in India. And one cannot filter this. What the fuck?

And pretty much in general, companies, job sites, and recruiters do not allow any useful specifity. I cannot filter offers by post code. This already makes most offers useless if I don't use a car. Offers do not specify the actual place of work. They are often not clear about home office rules. They go all wishy-washy about the desired use of AI in software development - which is a huge differentiator for both sides of the table. I could go on. I once had two rounds of interviews until the HR people told me that they required - for a position of developing complex mathematical software - mandatory on-call service every seven weeks, 24/7 for a full week, on top of the normal work. Hard no from me. Excuse me? They could have saved me, and themselves substantial time if they had put that right into the job description.

And one more thing, you speak of job seekers as "talent". But "talent" means at the root that somebody who isn't fully trained yet on something appears to have the natural capability to eventually learn it well, probably. For experienced professionals which have put many thousands of hours into studying something, practicing it, and actually becoming masters in it, that's devaluating, too. The whole process is obviously designed to devalue people.
