As a hiring manager, I am absolutely floored how many people do not actually have this information on their resumes. So while most people would assume a lot of redundancies between the form and a resume, I can assure you that many people do not have this information readily available on their resumes.
Sorry to say but you hiring managers don’t know jack shit about hiring people. You have zero clue as to what qualifies an employee. Always asking the wrong questions.
The reason why corporations have a hard time finding talent isn’t because a lack of talent. It’s because the hiring process is a joke. But then you’ll complain that no one wants to work anymore.
The amount of top talent you toss into the bin because you don’t know what questions to is staggering.
Thousands of applications and only dozens of jobs.
Imagine a world where there are countless open job reqs and only one applicant per job. That might be the case if the world population was not 8 billion.
I honestly think ATS are a pain in the ass simply to filter out the people who won’t deal with bullshit. They want people who will live with bullshit working for them because the org is (always) dysfunctional.
Alternatively… their HR technology team is just trash because it’s run by HR and not someone who knows technology. Seen it plenty of times where shadow IT is being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing beyond “we need this thing.”
I just joined a fantastic team and within a month I saw how dysfunctional it is. Nobody knows how to organize humans. Whoever actually figures it out could rule the world.
Because I know if a hiring manager talks to me, they are likely to hire me, but if I write down that I didn’t graduate college, then they aren’t going to talk to me.

Truly abysmal.
“What would you say is your biggest weakness?”
STAR. The STAR format is my biggest weakness. Please everyone stop using it.
Why do you need to build a system to capture this information from people that can’t read rather than just rejecting those applications?

I’m saying why not just reject them if you have lots of applicants… Not sure I follow what you are saying.
Building the elaborate system to help them get last the initial pass of resumes only gives you more resumes to look at later.

Then why do you need the resume if you just ask for it all again

seems to me like this would be the kind of information that you would clarify IN the interview. But what do i fucking know. I’m just a person.
I’m relieved whenever candidates demonstrate that they are less likely to correctly complete important tasks.
