Here's a crazy idea maybe you shouldn't require applicants to create an account just to apply for a job. Lord knows how many workday accounts I've created.

[–] TechLich@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Agreed, but it's not the applicants' accounts that was compromised.

That's the password for the admin panel that lets you see every single application and all their conversations with the stupid hiring bot. An order of magnitude more silly.
