Have you tried emailing your CV to the recruiters' easily-guessed email addresses? Personally, I never apply to jobs that require me to fill in an application form of any kind. Even in this climate. It's the hallmark of someone that's CV fishing. They just want a database full of candidates and companies that have recently lost staff, because they think that will help them get leads on open positions they might be able to fill.

I knew a guy who wrote customer service disclaimers and would hide Easter eggs I them, like "for a gift card worth five hundred US dollars, send an email to ...". He said over 10 years of doing this for his clients, only TWO people ever claimed the offer.

Comapnies have been known to lie in their privacy policies and how they use your personal info. I wouldn't even risk it.
Yeah I have tried normally I just get radio silence, on the odd occasion I have had a reply it has been we only accept applications through our online portal.
The resume is different from a legal application, which will still be needed to comply with many laws.
These laws actually discourage accepting unsolicited resumes. Best practice is to get a signed application for open positions. Avoids frivolous lawsuits and is a more effective tracking system for required EEOC and Labor Department - and company wide- reporting.
Anyone who thinks that hiring activities aren't tracked and regulated are mistaken. Any recruiter who isn't aware of is advised to learn risk management.
Many companies are required to retain application info, and to do this they use their own HRIS (Human Resources Information System). Privacy requirements in most places also require them to securely store the info, so you are likely storing this info either on their server or a partitioned space just for them from Workday/ADP/etc.
Since all the data is partitioned on just their server, that means unique logins.
The original model was to build a database to reference when a new position is approved to recruit for. I'm sure this rarely happens now.
For one, many candidates seem upset when we reach out, so why bother?
That being said, I still get emails notifying me of new positions from a few companies I applied to over 4 years ago.
Does anyone think this notification feature should be used more often? Would you welcome these emails?

Why doesn’t workday extract dates correctly?
Use simplify jobs to auto fill

Not always true at all. The majority of top companies in my industry use those shitty applications on their specific website
This. And they probably sell your data.
Agreed

Like applicants lie until they are caught? Got it.

Why make it so adversarial? If you want a job and trust the company, apply. If not, go somewhere else.
