What I have noticed is that the more menial, low paid and generally low desirable a job is, the higher that initial barrier is. I suspect it is to at least some extend intentional, though I struggle to understand why that is.

On the other hand the initial step in software development job application (my current profession) typically seems a lot smoother, though of course then they are followed up by more technical steps (which generally makes sense).

I do see start ups here in London who try to make the process smoother. I do not know how successful they are.
