iamlilyon Ask HN: Why not accept resume in JSON format?

If we were to optimize the time put in editing templates, JSONs make sense, but the downside is sentence correction features.

iamlilyon Ask HN: Why not accept resume in JSON format?

Absolutely!! Resumes are something everyone has to deal with but I am surprised there is no standardization.

Are we expected to be creative at resume template? I don't think candidates who are really applying for jobs care about it.

So, why is this not promoted by companies?

iamlilyon Ask HN: Why not accept resume in JSON format?

Mostly techies use JSON (for good reason) and its not that hard for others to catch up with it. Does it take 5-10mins? It's not C programming bruh.

iamlilyon Ask HN: Why not accept resume in JSON format?

That HRs read CVs in formats as they were submitted isn't universal. Most CVs go through parsers and presented in a standardized format. I have not seen good PDF parser and that means what they read is with noise, biased against a good outcome for the candidate.

The industry could simply standardize a JSON structure and ask candidates to submit in such a format.

and that people with bachelors degree cannot teach themselves how to write simple JSON structure is laughable.
