Tech job hunting feels like endless data entry

Original: Looking for a tech job is a helpless data-entry nightmare

Job seekers in tech describe the application process as a demoralising cycle of repetitive form-filling, with little response from employers. The complaint resonates widely: candidates report re-entering the same details into applicant tracking systems, only to face silence, rejection emails from bots, or ghosting. Discussion centres on whether hiring platforms have made applying easier for companies but harder and more impersonal for people.

Why now: Widespread frustration with automated, impersonal tech hiring processes is striking a chord with job seekers
