Some of them read each one, some of them use software to filter the resumes for keywords matching open positions in their database, and so on. Since you can't know how many people you're competing with, just focus on doing whatever you can to stand out and make sure that your resume does get read and if not, have a good reason why not. Follow application instructions but use loopholes like following up by phone, fax (really!), or via a common contact on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or any other network.

I remember when I selected personnel for a company I worked at, and I spent a lot of time with the preselected CVs... i heard from an HR advisor that, because of the amount of people looking for each position, the HR personnel has no time to read Cover letters.
