This will only benefit recruiting firms in order to automate processes such as the one behind this project, I don't see how this would be beneficial for anyone else.

- david_bonilla 4y agoLet me give you a couple of use cases where a standard CV would be beneficial to workers. 1. You want to apply to one position but you only have your data on LinkedIn. If you wanna export it, you only have PDF as an option. You can't adapt or update it. 2. Even if you can adapt or update it, if the company or service where you want to apply doesn't support a standard format, you will have to re-enter the data, one by one. Finally, all this friction discourages some candidates to apply to some positions.
- corrius 4y ago1.- If you are really interested in the job you spend a few minutes preparing the CV and applying for it. 2.- If the company doesn't support a standard format is probably the company's problem not yours. "Finally, all this friction discourages some candidates to apply to some positions." Doesn't this just validate that the benefit is for recruiting firms rather than applicants?
- david_bonilla 4y ago"a few minutes preparing the CV" I think you are confusing a CV with a Resume, or you are focusing on the IT niche. For example, an academic CV needs HOURS of work to elaborate.
