Free labor. Gotta know early if you’ll do redundant useless tasks without compensation.

How it feels to be part of a union that negotiated so hard my employer backed down from all compromises and just accepted a 3% raise retroactive to last year, as well as this year, along with a massive increase in benefits.

Old school human readable and machine readable. Redundant now but the sufferring is funny to some, so it must continue.

It isn’t redundant.
You want your resume for humans to read, which means your respect their time (remember they have the power and you as unemployed have time) so they don’t throw you into the trash. That means you ensure that the things in your background that make you look good to them are easy to find.
You want the forms to be things that the machine is looking for, even if they are not interesting. The machine might verify so don’t lie, but a lot of things the machine is looking for are boring things that the box needs to be checked - since they are boring you don’t want them on a resume - but not having them someplace means the machine rejects you.

Except it is, if you have the machine readable fields you can export the ones you’re interested in into a human readable document. Instead you have what the candidate thinks you want to read, which is essentially all of the information you had on the other fields.
