I Dream of Jobs

Last night, I was trying to get to sleep, and all I could think about was the jobs that I applied to during the day.  I decided to settle in for the day and concentrate, and I applied for 14 jobs over the course of seven hours.  That's an average of two jobs an hour.  Now, to the casual observer, that doesn't seem like that many.  But when you get down into it, you realize that the process for applying to most jobs goes like this: locate position you're (mostly) qualified for, click "apply," set up required profile, enter in all the information from your resume manually, navigate to actual job application, upload resume, submit application.  Rinse repeat.

It's not like this for all jobs.  Some jobs it's just submit your resume and cover letter to this email address and hope someone looks at it.  But for many jobs, it's the above process, for which I pose the following question, "in the thousands/tens of the thousands of dollars you spent on your ATS program, why does your text import not work"???  Many ATS programs have this import capability, so why do I have to enter in the information manually?  Or my new favorite scenario, the import only kinda works, so I still end up entering in most of the information manually or adjusting the formatting.  It's SO frustrating.

I know, I know, I get it.  You want us to set up a profile so you have all of the information on file, as well as to make it easier on us if we're applying to multiple jobs within your organization--at least that's the line you give everyone to get them to accept the clunky software.  So, people of the Internet I ask you, what ATS have you had experience with that (mostly) works like it is supposed to?
