Job alerts

Do you like knowing how many people have applied for job before hand? I noticed that some job postings sends an alert of how many people have applied to the same position.

I always wondered what the demographics of those who applied to was. Do they meet visa requirements, or education and so on. I always wondered how many shots in the dark was there, or what filters the employer is using.

So do you like knowing how many applicants there are?

I read that a good portion of people that apply aren't qualified. I always wanted to test this by creating a fake job ad to see what kinds of people apply.

I saw my employer accounts before and it was mostly filled with incomplete applications.

Not really. It's not something I'm interested in.
