Get Sent

Could you please explain more about "We get sent each year" at the sentence below:
"I work on recruitment, especially – so I’m the person who reads the hundreds of CV's we get sent each year!"
I couldn't understand about its mean and tense of sentence.
Why did he use "We" at his sentence? !!

"We" refers to the company that he works for. People send CVs to the company, and he has to read them as part of his recruitment job.
