Almost 100 applications but only 10 or so callbacks

I can see that, but depends on:

Location?
Specialisation?
IR35 designation?

Care to share any info?

Location is pretty irrelevant, his name gives you his specialism but he's the bee's knees and best in the world at what he does looking at his posts and he'll only be going outside because he's so damn good.

Any other details you pick up about him are unlikely to be anywhere near the truth as he's a complete troll so I'd take anything he says with a pinch of salt.

That northen lad bloke is just my troll, he likes to follow me around.

Location: I work only remote so it doesn't make a difference. I visit client sites occasionally but never as part of my written contract.
Specialisation: Cloud migrations / tech stack modernisation with a focus on two industries (not finance). Strong engineering background, strong sales background, strong enterprise architecture background.
IR35: All outside at the moment, that's probably more through luck than anything else though. There is a lot of inside work going around, probably at least 3/4 of the roles I see are inside.
Me: Bit of a bell end due to a bad upbringing
