"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?"

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Who is asking for the information? Is it a recruiter, job board, or the actual company? If it is the first two, not a chance I would give it to them. The actual company, I would provide it AFTER an in person interview that went for both you and the prospective employer. How do you know it isn't just a clever scheme to steal identities? If you have done military/government work, how do you know they aren't a spy organization trying to exploit you?

Dude said it was CareerBuilder site. I don't trust 'em. I've found jobs I was interested in on such a place and found the actual party's own web-site to upload a resume to.
