Ask HN: why are job application websites so broken?

Hi,

I'd like to know why big companies job boards are so broken. Every time I try to apply for a job I have to:

1) Waste 1 hr inserting information that is already on my curriculum. 2) Fight with the website that is usually broken at some level or counter intuitive.

Is somebody working on this? Is there a sane way to apply for a job in a big corp?
