Resumes can't capture the differentiation they need to compete and leverage their real skills. This is a salient observation. The discussion mostly focuses on employer->employee mismatch, but this statement illustrates how the employee is also losing out (and in effect, all employers): Hidden skills, uncaptured by a traditional resume and hiring process, are never leveraged. Mostly soft skills, I imagine, but the most important qualities to me as a hiring manager (communication, honesty, ability to learn new things with eagerness) aren't signals which can be derived with this process. We need a platform which highlights these skills in an indirect way, giving value to its users beyond acting as a professional virtue beacon.
