I wonder if there'd be some value to only taking job applications by post.

There are plenty of services to send mail form the internet for a small fee, so this will only discourage the most poor candidates and add friction for the best ones.

		I don't know what the options are these days but MCI used to do it. Yeah, it's some friction on both sides.

An interesting question but arguably a lot of the most qualified applicants will go FU at that point and only the most desperate will put a stamp on an envelope which is probably not what you want.

Honestly, it probably comes down to more networking and credentials.
