Unfortumately HR people are as lazy as all other corporate drones. They just want to get it over with so they can go home.
That's the sad reason, and it is all there is to understand about it.
- brk 19y agoI would venture that most people reading this site are looking to join companies that haven't had to create an HE department yet. (side note: one of my personal factors for determining when a company is no longer worth joining is when HR becomes a specific department/person, there are exceptions to this, but they are few). I agree with the spirit of what Seth is saying here. My last several jobs found ME, based more on the reputation factor than on the "read my blog" or "look at my portfolio" factor, but they weren't from sending a resume into a black hole.
- mixmax 19y agoMaybe it would be possible to turn this around to your own advantage: I agree that I wouldn't want to work for a company that doesn't bother to look at the links that you provide in an application or a CV - it shows they are not engaged in what they do. Now suppose you put up your projects (or whatever you want your potential new employer to see) and monitor who is looking. With large companies it should be possible to trace the IP adresses so that you will know exactly which companies have enough interest to actually click the links and look at what you have done.
