The problem is they expect everyone to jump through hoops for them as if all the candidates are the same and they just need to pick one.
Had a job posting asking candidates to go on a goosehunt to find pictures of a landmark at some coordinates they provided, under the guise of “this proves you have attention to detail”… sod off.
And I don’t know why some posting still require CVs… like they don’t realize ChatGPT exists to write the fluff that they aren’t going to read.
Seriously, job opportunities have almost always been a numbers game, there’s an opportunity cost to investing time in these games that could be better spent applying to more jobs.
