The volume of applications received have shown that pre-screening is a logical way to thin out the applications. Just like using ATS.

It’s a huge waste of time.

it pops up often lately and really annoys me, especially if they include a personality test. Total waste of time without a guarantee of employment.
I really can't stand that you send out a polished resume and the first thing they want you to do is fill out an application. AAARRGGHH!!

I spoke with a recruiter from an agency today who said, yes, there is a lot more of this going on now. She too doesn't think it's helping.
