Seconded. Several billion of us don't use FaceBook.

  you probably aren't his target market.

    That's fine. He just marginalized a few billion people. It's like only hiring men. Those competing with you will eat your lunch. Edit: I should say that your competitors will have a larger, thus more talented, pool to pick from. That's what eat your lunch means.

    Is he a programmer or designer? Because I hire those, but I don't use Facebook.

      I'm a programmer and a designer! And I'm not on Facebook! If Chicago wasn't so far for me, I'd send you my resume ;)

        Thanks. Honestly, I feel bad about referring people to my own department these days because we give them such shitty offers. So I've stopped doing it until we are willing to hire real employees instead of insurance-less contractors.

      The main thrust seems to be social media / marketing / business development, so Facebook does seem to be very relevant.

Perhaps the type of people that would employee a man of this skillset are more likely to have a facebook account than the general population. It's also not that far off to imagine that those folks would be logged in already via cookies. For that target population the user experience probably works.

I have to log in to some arbitrary thing to know who you are. Why?

  Perhaps they believe that FaceBook is the Internet? Many people actually think that. I recall the days when Grandma swore that AOL was the Internet. Facebook has displaced them.

    If that's the thinking, I've seen enough of his resume.

I think I am not going to open a Facebook account just to read it. Number one rule of resumes: don't get yours thrown in the trash unread. In the immortal words of Donald Trump "You're not hired!" Or if you prefer Paul Graham, I clicked your link, and waited for your resume to load with finger poised over the back button. If I had immediately seen some magical chalk board I might have spent a minute learning about you. But instead I got a login screen.

This is targeting someone trying to employ him for a digital marketing position, if they didn't have some sort of Facebook account I don't think that's where he would want to work.
