I posted this question and video to the Human Resources Institute of New Zealand (HRINZ) group on LinkedIn and it has attracted quite a bit of discussion.

Original post:

Do you want to receive this level of creativity in a CV or would you ignore / discard it?  

HR people receive lots of CVs, which from a visual perspective follow a pretty similar format. HR people typically prefer the stock standard static CVs, especially when they deal with a high volume of applications. At the same time, jobseekers are becoming more savvy using social media to showcase their personal brand, personality and experience. Check out this Quick Response (QR) code example - you scan a QR code (2-dimensional code) with a smart phone and it takes you to a link. Should HR professionals and recruiters embrace these types of jobseeker innovations or should we discourage and ignore them?
