Re: Applications Online

It's not a job application site but we do have a site for collecting
data on perspective students that is wide open for anyone to submit
anything. We put the data in an import file on the iSeries and have an
Admissions office employee review the data and approve or reject each
entry. If they see Donald Duck they reject it. We are going to be doing
an online job application later this year and will most likely use the
same process. If your worried about false applications what do you do
with a current paper app that could have been filed out by anyone with
any name. Someone in HR looks it over before entering it for real.

I hope this is somewhat on topic here. So we are developing a new
online job
application site. How do you protect against bot filling in junk data?
Do
you just ignore it? Do you force the registrant to create some sort of
an
account? Some other form of verification that it is a real person?
There is
a different of opinion between the developer and myself on how to do
it. He
thinks account, I think that will potentially turn people away.
