A friend who hires gets those and says they are just like junk mail or spam. It doesn't help the applicant's chances at all. Sometimes the CV is not completely relevant to the position but there's a letter and references about the applicant's character and work history, so they'll get a consideration I've heard one time-saver is to simply throw half the CVs into the bin unopened.
