I think this is a great idea. Especially because it is so easy to submit a resume, and it takes so much time to weed out good ones from the bad ones. In addition, resumes tell me nothing about how passionate a given candidate is about company/job. Passion is a big deal and someone who is passionate about company/product/position WILL jump through the hoops necessary to get in the door. A+ folks apply to great colleges and go through long applications for start-up accelerators too. Why wouldn't they do it if they are passionate about a company/job? I think onus is on company to make sure they write job posting in a way that attracts passionate candidates who are willing to go through this - and it's customizable, so you don't have to use predefined template - you can just build one for yourself and go with it.

Resumes really are bullshit, and I am glad someone's trying to solve the problem. Great idea guys - congrats!
