With the Online Job Boards being overrun with hundreds of resumes hourly the minute a job is posted, has the Cover Letter outlived its usefulness?
I'd like to get some Civilian Recruiters, as well as HR Experts on RP to respond to this question and let us know what they look for in today's market as a professional recruiter for companies.
Is the Cover Letter more important than the Resume?

Absolutely, it traditionally a customary to send a than you letter so the recipient gets it on the third day. Just in case they never read your letter or resume', they just may take another look or consideration you as a great applicant?

I am not a fan of cover letters. I prefer candidates put a summary on the top portion of their resume. A summary these days should replace the traditional objective statement that was previously used back in the day. This gives me a quick snapshot on the candidate and what their passion is.
