I have a friend looking for a job and is refused a paper application and in return being asked to go to a website to apply. He does not have easy access to the web and is therefore requesting a paper application. And he is not the only one. My neighbor is now complaining of the same thing.
Now, obviously I allow him to use my computer and phone as a job hunting source, but I think it bothers him. I understand the complaint as well, applying online is usually long and tedious with no call backs.

   Yes, it is legal. A company can set up any manner of accepting job applications that they prefer. Some only accept walk-in applications. Some require typed applications.

   It is legal. More and more companies are using web based applications. A lot of these companies have computers available onsite for prospective clients to use to fill out their application. If not they can use computers open to the public such as the library. Paper applications are not as widely accepted in corporate America these days.
