It is common practice for mathematics department hiring to use Mathjobs (especially in the US). This is very convenient for recommendation letter writers, as we can just upload one letter that the applicant can send to all the the different schools.
However, very few mathematics departments use mathjobs for postgraduate admissions (exceptions include the University of Oklahoma which uses Mathjobs for PhD applications). So for students applying for math masters/phd programmes, recommendation letter writers have to spend lots of time navigating each university's individual admissions website.
I was wondering why so many departments are willing to use Mathjobs for postdoc/assistant professor level hiring, but so few use it for PhD/Masters admission?
