Reading, comprehending, and filling out an application should be the first way to cull people.
- pg 19y agoWe do treat it that way. But today I came across an otherwise promising application that didn't have any email addresses in it. I had to call them on the phone and leave a message telling them to add their email addresses. Obviously this does not scale.
- bootload 19y ago"... I came across an otherwise promising application that didn't have any email addresses in it ..." Is the application via online form? Would it be scalable to verify addition of email address on submit?
- pg 19y agoI've been resisting adding lots of structure to the form so that people can email drafts around when working on their applications.
- bootload 19y ago"... I've been resisting adding lots of structure to the form so that people can email drafts around ..." Maybe there should (a few) mandatory fields (contact email + phone + first name + last name) like a login. Leave the rest unstructured. You don't need your life details, just a username and email address that uniquely identifies users and allows contact.
- dcurtis 19y agoDo the verifications upon submission only, not on saving. There, problem solved!
- alaskamiller 19y ago:( My application had my full contact info on it so I guess it can't be mine.
- mwerty 19y agoMy guess is that the team worked off s2007 app and missed the addition of email as a requirement.
