They are so bad, forcing you to create an account for every company and making you fill endless boxes to duplicate info on your resume. They probably lose 10-20% of good candidates through this funnel because it is so tedious to use. How did it become the standard ATS? Why aren't alternatives like Greenhouse or Lever more popular outside of startups?
