I have applied to 100 or 150 positions over the years, BTW...
Over what time period?
Almost all positions in Germany are inside deals, after having been invited to more than 20 Berufungsvortraege, I know what I am talking about it. Also have been on the demand side...shocking? Not really that is how it is for better or worse.

^ This. Plus if your profile actually matches a reasonable number of positions, either your CV isn't good or you interview badly.
