Can someone explain the trend of applicants adding a QR Code to their resumes? I get around 50 to 200 resumes per job posting, I’m not scanning your QR Code!

It's more compact than having to type out a link. Some of those have multiple links in them connecting to their socials, LinkedIn and other information. It's like a one-stop shop of sorts. It's very handy.

New modern way to look up a person 😊

Nice 👍🏻

Usually leads to linkedin profile or portfolio. Can be useful. But they should supply the link elsewhere as well so it is more clear.

It's a way to stand out from the crowd. Nothing more. I scanned one once out of curiosity and It was a personal website. It's clever but I would prefer if you only sent me the link and that's it lol

Seems to be a just a new trend people use as opposed to sending a link. Seen as more aesthetically pleasing than putting a link on you resume.

Technology nowadays makes it easier for someone find something without even typing a single letter on the keyboard. Reason why I've seen QR codes on the resumes for several times now.

I've noticed it too, it's super frustrating bc it's like...I don't have TIME to do that lol

So far I've never received one. But my friend who works in another company got at least 90 resumes this day. I don't get it.

50 to 200 resumes for 1 posting in this current market? What kind of job are you hiring for?

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
