Hiring is broken period, not jut for engineers. I could whine on about this topic for days, I ran an IT Division that supported HR for a very large company, and we built a slick streamlined system that worked great, in spite of what HR wanted. The two things that drive me crazy when applying for a job 1) keyword matching metrics, UGH!! It's not an effective filter. If you really want to filter candidates have a job specific requirements questionnaire. As a hiring manager I'd much rather create my filter questionnaire. 2)Using the resume submission process to complete the employment application form <DUMBEST IDEA EVER>, it can be a two step process, REALLY IT CAN BE A TWO STEP PROCESS! NOBODY READS THE EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION FORM, it has nothing to do with screening candidates. If you want to interview a candidate THEN have them complete the employment form.
