In today’s high tech world, identities can be stolen within seconds. Millions of dollars are transferred from one account to another in the blink of an eye. And resume banks are under attack by their own creators.
Why does someone put their resume online? To show others? To share with their parents? No, a resume is uploaded into a database to help the person get a new job. The more people that see this resume, the more chances the person has of getting hired. So, in the past, different sites have searched other resume banks to glean more candidates. Not anymore.
Some sites have shut down all access ability to their databases, doing a great disservice to all those that use their site. The choice wasn’t given to the clients of the sites, but rather forced upon them. They weren’t given a little box to check saying, “Yes, I do want other job boards to see my resume!”
The targeted audiences of job board candidates are least likely to fear the option of putting their name, email address, or profile online. These are the people that want their resumes and profiles to get viewed. Exposure is key to candidates. Job boards are simply stating a cost issue in security shielding them from users remarks towards this issue.
