Indeed is turning into a really great way for an employer to get into your personal business

I just spent 40 minutes on one application. Long gone are the days where you could apply to a job by sending in a resume with one click. This recent job posting would not let me proceed without a mandatory cover letter, three references with contact information, previous addresses and EEOC questions which were optional but God forbid I leave them blank. Indeed used to be a private way of submitting a resume without linking to your email. Now, it seems employers can attach page after page of questions asking a ton of personal info (phone number including auto-text updates being the most annoying). My references are getting calls before I am even contacted by the employer. Glassdoor is a little better but no one in my area seems to post jobs there. Is anyone else finding jobs using another website?
