I've been on both sides of this. Last time we hired an assistant, I received almost 100 resumes. I'm HBD at a 5A, we're not a "known" school. I tried to keep up with all the incoming emails but definitely let a few slip through the cracks.
Whether I replied to the initial email or not, I sorted all of those into an Outlook folder, and at least opened every resume.
I'm currently looking for a new position. I always email the principal and DFA when I apply. Rarely do they respond, if they do it's generally an obvious copy/paste generic response. A couple of times now the principal or their secretary has called me for an interview after not replying to my email.
