This is my first step of weeding out candidates. The software we used would render the PDF for a first pass, but if it had a .doc, then you'd have to download it, and open it on your machine. I tried to convince the HR department to disable .doc uploads for security risks but I guess it was a global setting and would have applied to sales hires too.
Also I'm not paying for Microsoft Windows 11 Copilot AI O365, or whatever it's currently called, just so I can send a CV.
