Some of which can strip info from said CV and auto fill the form, but only partially works and forces you to do this whole shit twice.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have this trash auto form fill as backend opposed to frontend so the applicant doesn't have to wonder if you are a useless inefficient company? Wouldn't it be simpler to just give an email address where I can send one complete file instead of needing to split it in to 4 files?
Doesn't this render every scanned document useless because it relies heavily on OCR?
Are the people/programmers who implemented this retarded? Now I can't just continuously use my cover letter because of the ATS. They'll see I am using the same text forcing me to invest more time in writing something no one will ever read. This is so insulting, then they wonder why there is no loyalty to the company anymore and why the fluctuation of employees is so high.
Fuck HR, Fuck the workforce. I rather be a vandalizing piece of shit destroying government property.
