    Why do you need to build a system to capture this information from people that can’t read rather than just rejecting those applications?

      Thousands of applications and only dozens of jobs.

      Imagine a world where there are countless open job reqs and only one applicant per job. That might be the case if the world population was not 8 billion.

        I’m saying why not just reject them if you have lots of applicants… Not sure I follow what you are saying.

        Building the elaborate system to help them get last the initial pass of resumes only gives you more resumes to look at later.

          I honestly think ATS are a pain in the ass simply to filter out the people who won’t deal with bullshit. They want people who will live with bullshit working for them because the org is (always) dysfunctional.

          Alternatively… their HR technology team is just trash because it’s run by HR and not someone who knows technology. Seen it plenty of times where shadow IT is being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing beyond “we need this thing.”

            I just joined a fantastic team and within a month I saw how dysfunctional it is. Nobody knows how to organize humans. Whoever actually figures it out could rule the world.
