While I agree with most of what you say, I disagree with you here.  Your 
CV (résumé) does count, just not necessarily in the way most people expect.

I haven't often been involved in hiring, but the few times I have we had 
more applicants than it was feasible to interview.  We used CVs as the 
only thing we had to filter with, looking for *interesting* people. 
Exactly what "interesting" meant was somewhat arbitrary; we put one 
person through to interview because she was a cellist, and that would 
have given us a complete string quartet (she didn't get the job, sadly).
