Don't Be A Dodo

Resumes are so 2025.

Some shifts are incremental, some are swift. And after decades of using resumes in roles as the single source of truth, I am so happy to announce that increasingly the employment version of the dodo - resumes - are no longer the employment calling card they once were. RIP.

Yes, they're useful, but I would argue they are more usefully used to build your profile as to who you are professionally. Let me explain.

For example, when we match people to roles in the finance space, we have a swift ten-step process to authentically match compatibility. We don't even look at your resume. It's not that we don't care, it's that it presents you to your professional world in such a 2-D way, it does you a great disservice.

Same goes for the Position Description. How can it possibly reflect what the role's about? Even if it's been updated, and often it hasn't been looked at since the last person left.

I'm excited about lots of things this year. Top of my list is how tech and business models will smash the way we fit people to roles and roles to people.

Just watch.
