my partner and I are both hiring managers in skilled professional field and we hate it when people attach a photo. It immediately biases us against people who try to look attractive. I'm hiring a professional. show me your accomplishments!
In Germany it’s customary to attach a portrait shot of yourself to your resume. In the US, this would be seen as bizarre. Here, some hiring companies are trying to introduce one way video interviews like short ticky tocks. Fuck that too.
HR remove all names, photos, etc from CVs before we review them. It helps remove any internal bias in terms of age / gender/ race etc. Obv after first review we get more details, but at least the first go through is done as blind as possible.
That's why I'm trimming my resume to the most recent ten years. Nobody needs to know I was excited as fuck when hard drives became affordable and the OG Palm Pilot was introduced.. Let me tell you about my hobbies! Running home servers! Spinning up Docker instances, connecting devices via Tailscale! Building LLLMs!
Doesn't hurt to try something random. Maybe they won't care, or have some kind of sense of humor. If they end up replying back needing a photo of you then you can give them a piece of your mind personally.

My profile photo at work, on teams etc. , is Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan. Been that way for years.

The fact they require a link to that cesspool LinkedIn is enough for me to close the tab. That's like the new Facebook. Deleted my account long ago.

LinkedIn is weirdly active in Scandinavian professional life. I hate it

I have my account, but for some reason they logged me out and want a picture of my ID to get back in. No Thanks.

Good call. I always trim my CV to the upper recommended they post, if I'm overqualified. It's a solid tactic to increase chances of callbacks.

Oddly, it doesn't state what the photo has to be of...
