>The browser asks you to save the password/username for the website, but it does so for the domain, not the subdomains which all have different passwords. I give up on a company if it's using Taleo. I'm not talented or competent, but I'm sure really competent people wouldn't want to put up with this either and it hurts recruiting.

This sounds like your browser's password manager's problem, namely assuming that users will only have a single password per top-level domain.
