Given how awkward the process is, I'm not surprised. You'd think it'd be 'upload CV, maybe fill in a few fields and submit your application'. But nope. In many cases it's a lengthy multi part form with dozens of things to fill in, usually asking for way more information than you'd ever want to give. Like a ton of personal demographic info that has zero relation to the job in question, and feels invasive as all heck. Or instances where you've manually got to fill in your past jobs in some of multi part field that has to be slowly filled in piecemeal rather than being imported from your CV or what not. And let's not even get into stuff like "please make a video explaining why you want this role" or some of the other ridiculous things I've seen in these applications. Unless you're working as a TV presenter, actor or other showbiz related role, you shouldn't need to do a literal audition. So usually I'll click an apply link, find a huge form waiting the other side (or some other 'trendy' bullshit), and immediately go back to find something else. I'm not wasting my time on providing some fifty pages of documentation before even getting an interview.
