It is virtually a requirement to be hired now.

This one didn’t. 2005 hire, and all it took was good recommendation and a resume. Things sure have changed...

I don't think the "must attend a job fair" mentality fully took hold until the company people-moved the original cadre of 2014 pilot hiring managers.
Dunno if correlation equals causation there or not.
I'd also think 14/15 hires had many solid LORs, and as time marched on it appears those carry less weight than they used to.
