For the love of fuck why aren't all jobs 'easy apply?'

Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
Dunk posts in general go in the_dunk_tank, not here
Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from the_dunk_tank
Because how else is the hr department going to automatically ignore your application because you didn’t use the right keywords
The trick is to have easy apply enabled but the instruction is that only applications sent by carrier pigeon are reviewed.
My favorite was a company that made a sketchy personality test for hiring whose process was you had to do their sketchy personality test first. I'm pretty sure their job postings were fake and this was just their way of getting data on the test.
One of the things you learn as you get older is that looking for a job is a lot like looking for a date. Apps are good for a fling, but you really need a referral before you're going to get into a long-term relationship.
Our HR literally counts out a percentage and dumps it in the bin. Competitive applicants, my arse.
And then if you're not ignored and somehow pass the screening, there's the dreaded "technical interview", which is becoming a thing in many fields now after being popularised in the IT, programming and software development hiring process. Basically make grown ass adults who already have degrees take an exam with an extremely stringent time limit. No way this could lead to biases against neurodivergent people or those with physical or mental disabilities, no way at all.
That last paragraph lmao 💀
I do honestly wonder if that's why my applications were ignored back in the mid 2010's. Like, right out of technical school with a bunch of licenses and then nothing... Hell, even the garbage jobs like Starbucks were ignoring me.
