As a current seeker of employment I can speak to this a bit.
One thing I have encountered is that many places use similar IT based HR software as part of their application process. The one I have been dealing with is workday dot com. Every single time I have had to use that site to apply for a position I have to make a new account.

The question in the OP likely originates from within this sort of HR service. It was offered to the employer as part of their package, and they used it.
