"I am in search of employment and ran across a bit of a dilemma that I would like some Soylent guidance. After applying for a job at CareerBuilder, I received a follow-up email which requested that I fill out their on-line application. The first field, mandatory, was Social Security Number as part of their initial screening process. My question for the community is, how would you deal with requests like this as the initial employment steps?"

It's not illegal, but it almost certainly violates the terms of the application (that all information is true). You could put in bogus numbers to get past the automated rejection process, but you would then set yourself up for being rejected for lying on your application.
