    It seems like companies are increasingly posting ads for jobs they don’t intend to fill, merely to scrape the data from applicants.

    So they’re exploiting the vulnerable, who just want to work- and have healthcare- and selling off their information for a few bucks.

    Meanwhile ATS systems have made the application processes themselves an absolute nightmare in redundant tedium.

    A resume and a cover letter are ALL any functional business should need. If you can’t make hiring decisions from those documents, fire your CEO.

      Oh man I was filling out a system today and had a hiccup on the page and lost everything I wrote. Reminded me when doing long things I need to cut and paste everything into a text doc just in case.
