>> 1. 90% of the Application's Data are already in my LinkedIN, or my CV / Resume. Why the heck do I have to fill it in again. Not only that, but the terrible Taleo software consistently fails to import a CV without completely failing to parse it and leaving you to manual update what was imported.

…and it's not like it goes to some centralized Taleo tracking system when all the inane details can be pre-populated on the next application you send.

Why isn't there a json based schema standard at this point? At the very least you import once, clean it up once, save the clean version, and then upload that one going forward? There's got to be a smarter way.

  There have been several attempts, such as: https://jsonresume.org/schema/ https://jsonresume.org/schema/ But nobody uses them, because nobody uses them. LinkedIn and other proprietary recruitment services like TeamTailor want to keep all the details locked in - there's no advantage to them to allow you to mass import/export candidate details.

    No one uses them because I don't think I've even seen an application process that offers it. Mind you, I rarely get to the end of those because that's why I have a CV. That said, why doesn't LinkedIn throw its weight behind this? In that context, it would make sense to have and maintain my CV there. With some sort of authorization confirmation that would let a 3rd party import it into their system?

  Maybe google can come up with a way to profit off indexing resumes so it becomes desirable to do so. As fun as it is to rip on recipe blog it's really nice how standardized they've gotten so your plugins can yoink them easily.

  The stupid thing as well is most of it is SAAS Taleo, so there should be a button that says "Share my upload of CV data from Company A to Company B". It's not impossible to move the data from one instance to another.
