I really wish the standard was to just ask you to upload your resume and cover letter as a PDF. Dont have any auto extraction. Then have some forms to fill out for basic info that shouldn't take more then 5 minutes.
I loathe the processes that have you upload a resume and then take 30 minutes to fill out forms of information that asks questions that should already be on your resume. It's feels painfully redundant but also makes me worry that they will look at the form data, not my resume/cover letter that I uploaded.
But then they can't just do a quick search for the specific skills or sort by years of experience, making the recruiter's job longer and more expensive. I keep a text only copy of my resume specifically for pasting into job applications since my resume never gets parsed correctly.
