    Also, it’s hard for a computer to parse a resume, and most of this stuff runs through a computer before a human sees it, so filling a form makes sure the data is correct.

    You also don’t have to worry about corrupted or unsupported files.

      You’re telling me that computers are sophisticated enough to drive cars and create new antibiotics but resumes are just too much? Nah.

      If that’s the case then don’t ask for a resume and only have the form to input job history that can be easily handed over to a manager using a printable template.

      It’s lazy on HR’s part and on the HR software they use.
