how many opportunities have you missed

Maybe they should be asking themselves the same questions if they are just ignoring most of the candidates because they are too lazy to get a pdf reader. I'm sure they aren't getting the best people with that approach.

The problem is they expect everyone to jump through hoops for them as if all the candidates are the same and they just need to pick one.

Had a job posting asking candidates to go on a goosehunt to find pictures of a landmark at some coordinates they provided, under the guise of "this proves you have attention to detail"... sod off.

And I don't know why some posting still require CVs... like they don't realize ChatGPT exists to write the fluff that they aren't going to read.

Seriously, job opportunities have almost always been a numbers game, there's an opportunity cost to investing time in these games that could be better spent applying to more jobs.

You don't even need a dedicated PDF reader, many (most?) browsers have a PDF reader built-in. You need extra software to see word processor documents, you don't to see a PDF.

If a company is so incompetent that a PDF isn't sufficient (or even preferred), that's not a company I want to deal with anyway.
