You must think you are special and that employers should be coming to you, or should suspend their normal hiring processes for you. Maybe you are -- but the vast majority of people are not. Most people need to jump through the hoops to get seen.

Or they think this situation and the "normal hiring processes" are stupid for everyone? The fact that all this redundant work, manual data entry, and hoop-jumping is the status quo doesn't make it good or fair or reasonable.

You would have a different view of this if you were posting job offers and got hundreds, or thousands, of unqualified applicants and fraudsters piling on to every single one.

But do almost any of the OP's complaints actually help with stopping that? Do fraudsters and the unqualified not have references and form-filling capabilities?
I get that there's problems these things are trying to solve, but it doesn't seem like it's doing anything to solve them and it's frustrating all the people who aren't the ones you're trying to run off.
