fr easy aply is so dogshit, most of these parsers for your cv can't handle the most basic shit, with my limited knowledge dealing with headless browsing with phantomjs I could come up with a better solution in an afternoon easily. Sorry but using a parser that can't even read experiences or education section to easy in a >10k+ tech company that does software is just not bearable.

I once did some contract work to write a parser for that. It wasn't long before I realized the variety of resumes made it completely impractical, and had to abandon the project. (I didn't charge for my time on it.)

If you could do a better one in an afternoon, you can make good money doing that.

Not a core competence so vendor solution is used.

That's financialisation. That's maximising value. Right?

I do my own mechanical work, but am a disaster at painting. So I hire that out.

It's not "financialization". It's the economic Law of Comparative Advantage.

It only makes sense to do in business what one has an aptitude for, and pay others to do the other stuff. I bet you don't grow your own food, or make your own soap, either.
