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.
Wow, that must’ve been a struggle 😓
