To me, it sounds more like the old system that WaterlooWorks replaced (JobMine). JobMine was just Oracle/PeopleSoft's PeopleTools under the hood.

Some of my friends who graduated earlier told stories about how JobMine at one point accepted resumes in HTML. Of course, this also meant that it was vulnerable to XSS attacks. The eventual fix was just to only allow PDF resumes.

Right from your first sentence I was thinking "I bet this is JobMine"

It still blows me away a school filled with CS people had such a god-awful system. Then again we are CS people and not UI/UX designers.
