Boo freaking ho. If you’re too lazy to copy and paste some basic information into an online form, I don’t want to hire you anyway. Also discourages people from trying to apply for hundreds or thousands of jobs they are not even qualified for.
The fact is I’m an engineer, not an HR employee. I have a job other than reviewing resumes. And the absolutely will meet me if they meet the requirements. I’ll interview them. If they don’t, they are wasting both our time.
Not wanting to do double the work for no tangible benefit is not being lazy.
Being slowed down in applying for multiple positions and being upset about it is not being lazy.
If your company is small enough not to have an HR department then they’re clearly small enough to review resumes. Or just stop asking for them if everything you wanna know has to be spelled out in the exact right order for you to comprehend it.
There is a positive to there being a treshold to applying for a job. It lowers the amount of applicants that will 100% not fit the job description, while making it more possible for HR/management to actually sift through every applicant, increasing the chances you’ll get hired if you do put in the effort and if you do meet the requirements. Look at it as an overcomplicated catpcha. They’re not just trying to test if you’re a human, they’re trying to test if you are human & actually are really interested in this job & actually do think you meet the requirements (or equivalent, causing you to put in the effort). It doesn’t make much sense for very low skilled low wage jobs, but it does for higher and/or very specifically skilled jobs.

The tangible benefit is getting the job. Sorry, I see this BS, I’m not even bringing you in for the interview.
And yes, we have an HR department. I want to pick the people we work with, not just let people that don’t know what a civil engineer does hire.
