I worry about that too, because of that I'm very hesitant to give out my CV.
I also wonder what advantage they get by having my CV when my work history is public on my linkedin. What do CV farmers gain from having a pdf of my CV? Couldn't they just copy-paste the information from my linkedin if they really wanted to?
- wizerdrobe 3y agoI always assumed it was internal metrics or a requirement the tool its fed into.
- GoToRO 3y agoIf you send your CV, it shows an actual intent: you really are looking for a job.
- OJFord 3y agoI used to think that, but then I decided no, I'll just make it public (GitHub public repo) and then I don't have to feel anything about updating it, if I move into a new role or whatever at present company I'm just factually updating that doesn't (and quite literally hasn't) mean I'm actively looking, it's just maintenance.
- esafak 3y agoBecause LinkedIn profiles are usually sparse compared with resumes. I get job applications so I can compare the two.
- zerr 3y agoDidn't get why you worry about giving out your CV - just don't put any sensitive info, like you would not put it on your personal website.
- 3abiton 3y agoMy "instead" meant instead of putting my info on LinkedIn (open for CV farmers), rather create a personal website/CV that you have more control over who can see it (more private), as you choose to share it only with specific employers.
