The Job Application Process is Broken: Here's How Fyllyo Can Help
Every platform wants your information in a different format. The exhaustion is real, but there's a better way.
You've perfected your resume. Your LinkedIn is polished. You're ready to find your next opportunity. Then reality hits: each application takes 30-45 minutes of copying and pasting the same information into slightly different formats. Upload your resume, then manually enter everything that's already on it. Again. And again. And again.
The Platform Chaos
The modern job hunt isn't just about finding the right role—it's about navigating a fragmented ecosystem where every platform has its own idea of how you should submit your information:
ATS Systems
Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR, iCIMS, SuccessFactors—each with unique field requirements
Job Boards
LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter—different formats, validation rules, character limits
Company Portals
Custom career pages built on everything from WordPress to proprietary systems
The Result?
The same information, requested 50 different ways, eating hours of your time
📊 The Reality
The average job seeker submits 21-80 applications before landing an offer.At 30 minutes per application, that's 10-40 hours of pure data entry.
Time that could be spent networking, preparing for interviews, or actually researching companies.
Real Stories: The Exhaustion is Universal
Software Engineer, Career Level: Mid
"I applied to 80 companies over 2 months. Each application took 30-45 minutes because Workday won't accept my LinkedIn profile, Greenhouse wants dates in MM/YYYY, and Lever requires me to describe every project separately. I spent more time filling forms than actually coding. The irony isn't lost on me."
Recent Graduate, First Job Search
"I've copy-pasted my resume into 50+ applications. Some want bullet points, some want paragraphs, some have a 500-character limit on job descriptions. I've memorized my own resume but still need to spend 20 minutes reformatting it for each application. Is this really what the job search is supposed to be?"
Career Changer, Transitioning Industries
"Tailoring my experience for each application already takes mental energy. Then I have to manually enter it all into forms that don't understand my career path. Some platforms make me choose from preset job titles that don't match what I did. Others limit my descriptions so much I can't explain my transferable skills. I'm losing opportunities before anyone even reads my application."
*Note: These stories reflect common experiences shared by job seekers across industries and career levels.*
The Data Entry Nightmare
Here's what you're dealing with on every application:
- Upload resume → Re-enter everything manually because the ATS can't parse your PDF properly
- Date formats vary: MM/DD/YYYY, Month Year, YYYY-MM, or dropdown menus that go back decades
- Salary questions differ: Current salary? Desired range? Exact number? Expectations?
- Cover letter chaos: Text box, file upload, both, or "paste below (max 1000 chars)"
- Custom questions like "Describe your ideal workplace culture" with no guidance on length or format
- File restrictions: PDF only, Word only, max 2MB, max 5 pages, must include contact info, can't include contact info
💭 The Paradox
Technology was supposed to make applying for jobs easier. Instead, we've created dozens of systems that each demand your information in their unique format. The tools exist. The platforms won't talk to each other.
