> Many people are applying to nearly 100 roles a month.

Spotted your first problem. Don't shotgun apply to anyone and everyone. You should only be applying to jobs you actually want.

You have provided no evidence why your technique is superior. By applying to a maximum number of roles, you are increasing your "attack surface". Also, in many cases, when you talk to the hiring manager, they can/will funnel you towards other managers and roles with a better fit.
