How is that disrespectful? I'd much rather send a direct email than click a link and deal with all of that...


It's disrespectful to candidates time to play misdirection games like this. If the form wasn't put up to mislead people, it would be different. There's a reason most places don't do stuff like this. The problem isn't the extra 30 seconds requires to open gmail, the problem is the kind of immature culture it signals.
