You compete by sending out hundreds of applications of your own. Both sides have realised that this is a numbers game, which is why they use algorithms to try to filter out as many resumes as possible as well. Part of it is just because it's so easy to apply to jobs now; it takes barely 5 minutes to apply through their system (or even 10 seconds on a job board), and partly it's because there just aren't enough jobs to go around these days.
