The way we recruit has changed tremendously over the years. Artificial intelligence and desires to hire in a more diverse way have altered the avenues firms take to seek out the best talent for themselves.

The world of recruitment is changing, however one thing that has remained the same is the use of a curriculum vitae, or CV, in the hiring procedure. The style and format of the CV has pretty much stayed the same throughout the years. Yet a not often discussed grey area in the creation of a CV is whether it’s OK to include an image of yourself.
