Collecting timesheets without a person asking twice
Monday payroll waits on every contractor submitting hours and every manager approving them, and the two failure modes are different people: the contractor who forgot and the approver on holiday. The chase is therefore per person and per state, a text the night before to whoever has not submitted and an escalation to whoever has approved nothing by noon, because a missing timesheet blocks invoicing just as hard as it blocks payroll. The boring weekly loop nobody wants to own is exactly the shape a system keeps without getting tired of it.
The parser reads the resume, then somebody corrects the employment dates it merged, which is most of the time it was supposed to save.
Resumes arrive in every format that has ever existed, including scans with no text layer and designed templates in two columns that get read in the wrong order. Parsing is nearly always a third-party component, and its characteristic failure is employment history: dates written as ranges with words in them produce merged employers and wrong tenure.

When this is the wrong thing to build
Pick something else if the portal you must enter them into forbids automated submission. Then the chasing can be automated and the entry cannot.
The constraint that shapes it
This is the sector where the boundary is sharpest, and it is worth stating plainly: rejection is the regulated act, not enrichment. More on how this sector works.
