It's worth writing a generic one.

Depends on the job, for engineering...nah

I've had multiple recruiters tell me they like mine. It doesn't hurt. More space for buzzwords for the AI to read.

I just got an AI to write a cover letter for me highlighting specific skjlls, and then just edited those skills to fit the job I was applying to. Wasn't really that much effort, and I did land a job in about 2 weeks of searching.

Never worked with a recruiter

Had enough bad experience from one half to know I don't want to be on the other half
