What's the most frustrating part of the modern job application process?
by•
I've been building ResumeUp.AI to help job seekers, and the feedback I get is wild. Some recurring themes:
ATS systems rejecting qualified candidates over formatting
"Easy Apply" leading to 500+ applicants per role
No response after multiple interview rounds
Job descriptions that don't match actual roles
For those hiring, what's broken from your side? Would love to understand both perspectives.

I think both sides are just inundated with high quantity over quality which is making both sides feel the need to use these tools. The whole process needs a serious overhaul
The black hole is the one that gets me. You spend real time tailoring something, hit send, and then nothing. No signal. You don't know if it was opened, who saw it, or if the whole thing was dead on arrival.
The "Easy Apply" problem compounds it too. The volume on both sides is broken now. Candidates are spraying, companies are drowning, and nobody's actually communicating. It's just noise.
