      Only for some time. Job boards in their early days were simplistic in their capture of information, you either pasted or attached a cover letter & CV but they would quickly become much more granular in gathering a lot more information about your skills, even if this made the application process a lot longer than before. It had the benefit of your skillset defining your ability rather than the title of your degree obscuring it. Also, OCR & language translation advanced really quickly there after.
