Thanks for your feed back. It's understandable that this might be too much for some people.

To date, we've had a single person skip those questions and still submit. This person was not a qualified applicant.

Based on the applications we've received this very minimal list of requirements appears to be working as desired. We're interested in employees who are going to do the best work of their careers. I'm okay with having a slightly higher bar (in terms of application effort) for that type of person.

Asking people to jump through hoops is not raising any kind of bar.
