Like sibling says, on mobile it's a pain. In general, when I look at a job posting, I just want to skim it. I don't want to interact with the webpage in any other way than "reading".

I get it, this is clever. It supposedly weeds out poor applicants. But speaking for myself it just strikes me as annoying.

Do people really apply for jobs on mobile? If I came across it on mobile, I'd just go, oh okay, and read it later on my laptop or desktop.

I'm an admitted anti-mobile person though. I am exceptionally skeptical that the mobile revolution will adequately replace the keyboard/mouse combination for high productivity tasks, and don't wish to see design move entirely in that direction.

No, but I do a lot of reading on mobile.

If I came across it on mobile, how would I even know if I wanted to read it later?
