This looks interesting, could you please elaborate? Do you mean like on social networks?

Yes, like on LinkedIn there is "Easy Apply" and lots of companies either ask (in the job description) to DM them or to apply by email, and this interesting because LinkedIn still shows hundreds of people applied through "Easy Apply"

Why would they have easy apply if they werent considering it? Can’t stand HR.

Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
