Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms?
Lehmuusa@nord.pub 2 days agoWhat could be cool would be a simple “included in my CV” button that you could click to bypass the field if it would be duplicating information already given. When you apply for 100 positions and each one requires you to painstakingly re-write all the content of your CV, it’s a big-time chore.
(Also, I don’t think it’s okay to ask half the stuff you are asking… Is that really legal someplace on Earth?! Blood type as reason to hire an applicant??)

I suppose your proposal can work: having standard questions with standard answers.
To make sure there’s consistency, maybe having a non-profit handling the whole thing could work. That way, there’s a standard application that people can fill in and standard responses that jobs can expect. Something like America’s Common App.
As to legality and the hiring criteria, I’m sorry if I misled you. I can assure you candidates were not being selected based on their blood. As I said earlier, the CV was given to the hiring decision-makers and the forms to HR.
