Photos are still on > 50% of resumes I see at a medium-sized Berlin tech company. Age is also common. I can't imagine this is less common in the south and I know it's more common outside of tech. Both are still on most "how do I prepare a German resume?" guides for foreigners.
I think the photos are awful but they don't present any special PII issues. Resumes already contain names, addresses, and phone numbers and therefore need a ton of scrutiny anyway.
- jaclaz 4y agoI don't know how common it is in Germany, but there is a "european format CV", official EU site where you can compose one: https://europa.eu/europass/en https://europa.eu/europass/en the form has top left a placeholder for a photo (though I believe it is not compulsory to add one). I think many people will use that or some copy-paste format deriving from it.
