But unless requested no one will send it as JSON. Rather they'll export to pdf/html utilizing one of hundred themes (https://jsonresume.org/themes/). Essentially the same thing everyone is doing when using LaTeX but now even easier to do.
The candidates that are interesting to me have diverse and interesting lives, their resumes should reflect that.
If not, disregarding candidates who just put their experience on a “plain” resume is cutting out a massive chunk of viable candidates so you can signal that you think your roles are above “plain” resumes.
Probably once they find out what criteria is used to get promoted…
If you have completely arbitrary hiring restrictions which have absolutely nothing to do with your ability to do the job then what other requirements will be hoisted on you?
I left it simple in the original comment so people could fill in the blank with their own witty ‘job requirements’.
If a job description says “must have custom designed resume”, that’s a hint not to apply. If I submit a standard resume and get rejected because “must have custom designed resume” is an undisclosed bar I was expected to clear, I just dodged a bullet.
I prefer jobs where the hiring focus is on hiring people who are good at the job, and using weird side challenges like “is your resume formatted uniquely enough” is a new variant of “not a culture fit” that I hadn’t heard before.
The meritocracy argument is usually brought up by people that are shitty colleagues. Personality is more important than being "good at your job", the latter improves with time and mentoring, the former usually doesn't.
We hire the person first and the skillset second.
I know not to apply for jobs looking for “friendly, outgoing people” and it saves everyone a bunch of time.
Doesn't your resume reflect that if it has that written down somewhere?
Why would a CV be picked over any other if a candidate, say, paid a service to pimp out it's styling?
