Headshots on resumes

[traquer]

A friend said that some employers are requesting this lately. I guess employers wised up and don't want to waste time interviewing anyone that looks like a crybaby antifa member? Good move

Probably for diversity reasons...

Possibly. But it will backfire on the left like everything else they do.

I opened the thread thinking something completely different.. lol

I was thinking Is that a thing for veterans now?

“So I hit this haji at 1250 yds!”

And the next guy saying “1400!!”

We only use them for current employees.. It’s so the senior leadership can try to figure out who they’re talking about.

I like the way you think Dave

Headshot makes sense today

no sense going to the trouble to set up an in person interview only to find out they are a person of no color when they show up.

Step 1- as long as you keep your thoughts to yourself. Kind of like how police do their job. They can legislate all they want, but you can’t make laws that over ride intuition, and you can only make a first impression once. I always ask why we don’t do the drug test first - this is in that vein.

i am guessing companies are wanting to hire minorities but cant legally ask race.

 

[rivermobster]

Or they are just looking for hot chicks to hire?

Asking for a friend of course...

Ding ding!! This way a white man can be denied the position without even talking to him. The new racism.

Not necessarily just white. Part of why I retired early. Jokes on them, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

But identify as a black man... No you are assuming my race?
I’m offended.

can't imagine this would be a legal with all the discrimination crap going on. My understanding ( and I'm not a attorney) is that you can not request photos on a application, or even the screening process until the employee is hired, then you can require it. That may be different in a entertaining type situation, head shot photos.

I have a couple buddies who work at the LAX FED Ex location . . . one of them is a total nut-job . . . I guess they were doing new employee orientation one day and he looked through the window to spy a little on the new-hires in a meeting room, , , then he kicked open the door and yelled, " A WHITE GUY?????? ....... WHO HIRED THE WHITE GUY"!?!?!?!?!?! . . . . my other buddy I guess was dying laughing!!!

all day this

No company I work with would consider this.

Build your screening tools around bonafide occupational job requirements. When you find someone that meets the criteria you are looking for on paper - set up a 20 min meet and greet on zoom. After that if you don’t want to move forward let the recruiter know they didn’t make the next round and focus on the candidates that you have chosen.

Asking for a head shot is asking for trouble in the business world I live in.

Never have seen this before and I am with my second fortune 100 company.
That said, I have had to make org charts with headshots so the C level suite knew who they were talking to. At my last 2 companies where I was leading internal audit and compliance orgs, I would have quarterly breakfasts offsite with the C suite. I have never seen a CEO, CFO, CIO or CHRO so happy when I handed them a 2 page deck (page 1 was the org with name and headshot, page 2 was agendas to discuss) the day before the breakfast. My team members never did figure out how the C suite new them by name

Also to avoid the ones with two teardrop tattoos and MS13 across his neck too.

Outside the US it is more common. Of course outside the US it is also common to ask things like, gender, race, marital status on applications. I do agree that it showing up here is an attempt to do an end run around laws against affirmative action.
