The flip side is that you can potentially be filtering out those with the best talent. The primary goal of the hiring process is attracting top talent... the kind of talent that might not be so desperate for a job. How do you win them over with an incredibly tedious process?
LOL, no it's not.
The primary goal of the hiring process is to find the most motivated person who will also fit in. No direct boss is looking for top talent, because top talent could show him up and even replace him! Almost all bosses operate this way.

Maybe in your world. There's a saying: A people hire A people. B people hire C people. Steve Jobs did not bring Apple back from hell by hiring people of less talent. Steve Ellis did not build one of the most successful franchises by hiring people with less talent.
Again, straw man. You can't just take a few narrow, rare examples and say they represent everyone.
Maybe you prefer to think they do. We disagree.
Walk into a Walmart or look at a city's skyline. You'll see thousands of products and companies in a single view that have succeeded. To say that it is rare to have management that is incapable of hiring top talent is delusional.
I finally found a job after being unemployed for the first time since the internet. After losing my job I hit the internet searching and filling out online forms/applications. Uploaded my resume. Then retyped my resume. I spent so much time on these annoying applications. What a waste of time!
I eventually found my recent job the old fashion way. By talking to people. Connecting to people. Networking. And it took very little time this way. I don't understand the craze about online job searching. Is it really effective an do I suck at it?
My new job may not be ideal for me so I'm sort of still looking. I'm thinking of just sticking to networking. But if online applications are better, I'd learn to love to get better at it. Any suggestions?
Congrats on your new position. I personally feel that networking is a better way to go about job searching. However, applying online has become popular for one reason or another.
The fact that you currently have a job should work in your favor. Best of luck to you.
