However, I don't really trust what that person told me. From my own personal experience, I'm currently working at a summer internship that I applied to via our Symplicity website and got no response at all. I later emailed the employer and heard back in a matter of a few days. I've literally applied to over a dozen SA spots pre-OCI and heard from 0 of them. I've sent my materials to recruiters via email and have received positive responses.

I'm convinced that employers do not check those Symplicity things, and even if they do, the process is certainly annoying for them. They have to reach out to you for your transcript, which is totally stupid. Grades are THE distinguishing characteristic for the vast majority of firms -- how many people are going to have something so impressive on their resume that the employer wants to reach out directly to them?

I think the whole symplicity system is stupid as hell and basically only good for knowing who to send stuff to, rather than where to send it.

First anon here. I gave potentially identifying information in the very first line of my post. Not my fault you can't read forum rules. Also, great contribution to this thread. I'm sure OP appreciates your valuable insight.
