Why do we have to enter everything in the resume and upload the resume also along with the tons of details we just mentioned?

Hi, Lately, I have been applying for jobs through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, career pages, etc. But out of all, the most irritating or tedious is to apply directly on the company's career page! 99 out of 100 times, our resume gets rejected, but to get there, how many details they ask! - Log in and verify the email - Upload the resume - Again, give personal details - Again, rewrite education details - Again, fill skill sets - Rewrite the same skills and experience from the resume to their portal - Tick marks! OMG Have you worked before? Or are you part of the military? Are you having a disability? Are you part of XYZ org before, etc., etc.? The list is endless!! I mean, why can't this be crisp with 1-page detail!? Min it takes 5-10 min to fill all these details and end up getting an email "unfortunately, we don't have the right opportunity for your candidature!" I don't know, not many are speaking about this! 😐

I applied for a job which used workday. I created an account, entered all my work info and it took nearly 21 minutes to complete everything. I clicked Submit. 60 seconds later I receive the email saying "After careful consideration we regret......" My only wish is that the product team that created workday should end up in hell and they should be asked to apply for jobs that use only Workday. I can't imagine a cruel torture than this.

I have been working in HRTech space for quite a few years now and never saw a guy whose application didn't get into ATS because his/her resume was not compliant. Generally ATS uses third party service to generate matching scores which takes keywords from your resume and job description, however it does not impact your resume visibility. Many companies and freelancers monetize on this vulnerability which is totally sham!

Most resume builder websites write FREE on their home page, but once user creates resume and tries to download, it asks for payment. :P

Some companies are asking the candidates to upload their passport size photo along with govt I'd details while applying for jobs in the company's career page by the companies like... Accenture, Infosys...etc. I am just wondering why are they collecting all these personal and professional details of the candidates before hiring ? Is it really required to collect? And that also why they want to select the candidate based on the looks, wherein they claim they are against age, race, colour and gender?? I don't mind sharing all those details post selection but why before joining? And we don't know whether we will get selected/ hired or not...then why to share these details with them?

Hiring for a couple of roles, and sorry to see the state of resumes. We are living in the best time of Internet, how come they are not being utilised? So many free websites, blogs, videos Major points that should be followed 1. Stick to 1-page resume - yes you are very hard working, you love yourself a lot, but still 1 page. If you have to add another page, add projects that support your cause but cannot make/break the deal 2. No pictures please, if you aren’t applying for modelling acting roles, please don’t 3. No age, DOB or full address - Apart from unnecessary, they are potential security breaches. Phone number and city are enough 4. Alignment - Too much white space is just breaking your game; utilise features in Microsoft Docs/Google doc 5. Pointers - Don't write stories. Many resumes wrote, "I like to talk about.."

Share Aadhar PAN ATM pin too 😏😒

To all the companies who use Workday for hiring, as soon as I see a job link that redirects me to Workday - I close the tab, cuss a few words and move on. Nothing more painful in the world than trying to fill a candidature form on Workday

Why on earth do I have to create a separate account for each company, remember password for each, fill in the same lengthy a** information for each despite uploading resume? Why would I fill in my info when my acceptance rate through this portal is less than a percent? (my own calcs) I want to understand what was going through people's mind when designing platform as such. My immediate reaction whenever I open a jobdescription with a redirection to workday is to f* close the website.
