Not to be pessimistic, but consider the applicant pool MrBruh targets here. One wonders how widely people with the sort of research skills and communication habits you describe are represented in the population applying for a fry cook position at a Checkers franchise. Or even amongst the franchisees themselves... And for that matter, how that kind of initiative would be received by your potential future manager at the drive-thru. I feel like I sound a little patronizing, but my broader point is it’s not other people’s job to be responsible for this kind of data security, especially in a relationship so imbalanced as that between a job seeker and the potential employer who offers only one pathway to gainful employment. As to the remedy you propose, I’m reminded of the inimitable @patio’s Seeing Like A Bank [0], where he points out that banks (like other firms) use techniques like the paper letter that you described as subtle shibboleths to distinguish people who are likely sophisticated customers from the rank and file.
