[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work as a federal government contractor.  I have worked for 6 contracting companies over almost 25 years with my agency.  I have applied at probably an additional 10-12 companies and jobs.  It became normal around 10-12 years ago in this industry.  It used to be that you could forward a resume through another employee or manager and they could bypass the system.  They could also get the hiring bonus.  Now, even those applicants have to go through the web portal.  Once through the web portal, an internal employee or manager can forward the name to either HR or the hiring manager, but resumes are not passed through anymore, only referenced after going through the portal.[/quote]

You can thank all of the Executive Orders requiring the mass data collection and mandatory system use. It's the only way we can do your initial EEO intake, provide a pre-offer OFCCP form, post-offer OFCCP form, ask if your a Vet, what type of Vet, and oh please tell us if you have a disability! And all of it must be consistent for every single candidate so we can prove no one was discriminated in any possible way.[/quote]

Nice way to conceal.  One of the issues is that nowhere in the XO's do they require a salary history.  That's something that employers have thrown in for their own personal benefit.  And making it so that it is mandatory to include that information and trying to blame it on executive orders and mandatory data collection is obfuscation of a really foul request.[/quote]
