I'm curious about why you need to put the "trap". You receive too many "random" applicants who don't even read the job description?

Met sometimes this, more often at Upwork.
Like, "If you reached here, please put magic word in the begin of the proposal".

Same question. Also I wonder how big is in reality the correlation between "not being attentive when applying for job" and "not being attentive at the actual job"? :)

For me I generally do little research on what company does and what is the product, and if I get filtered out just because I missed some "trap" when I was not in mode to look for traps it would be disappointing. My 2p :)
