Ask HN: As a job seeker or a recruiter, do you like video resume? I am exploring an idea of a job portal where video resume would be a key aspect. Before I plunge into the development side of it, I want to know in general on how comfortable people are with a video resume. I have two specific questions. 1: As a potential job seeker, are you comfortable creating a video resume and will you create one? 2: As a potential recruiter, will you prefer receiving a video resume along with a text resume? |
It's not great idea on other field especially on initial scrutiny.
With text resume,
1). HR first looks format and how presentable text resume is on paper.
2). Then they search/look for key points.
3). Later, they either reject it or keep it for next round.
All above 3 steps can take 10 second to 1 or 2 minute to quickly evaluate candidate for next round.
You can not express yourself in 10 second or 1 minute completely as you can do on text.
Reading is faster than listening or watching.
- Face is not resume on all sectors.
