Oh Taleo. It seems some companies make it suck less

I've given up applying to companies because of their process.

Some are privacy abusing from the get go. Or some ask you several different irrelevant questions. "No, I'm not a veteran" "No, I do not have protected status, yadda, yadda, yadda, etc, etc, etc". While laws may require you to ask some of those, there's no need to have one page for each question, or to ask them for candidates outside of the US

(A huge pet peeve of mine: US centric questionnaires)

You are peeved by US companies asking US-centric questions? It seems like a problem you give yourself
