Has anyone ever got a job applying through WorkDay platform?

I have sent over 30 applications to companies that use WorkDay as a careers portal to post vacancies (Blackstone, BoAML, A&M, PJT, JLL, among many others), and I have never land even an interview. 

I just have the feeling that when I fill all the questionnaire, and then I submit my application it goes immediately to trash. I have never heard back from the positions I applied via WorkDay, even for some position that fitted perfectly with my profile and CV.

I thought I was the only one who thought workday was trash. I've applied to companies that use workday and I have never, ever heard back. Perfectly formatted resume, meeting all the qualifications for the role, even tried inputting everything from my resume into their system, didn't make a difference. Pretty sure it's programmed to scan for unicorn resumes that match the job description the most, and the recruiters with room temperature IQ's don't even bother to properly screen resumes.
