Isn't that what Job seekers want? Get the attention from the Human Resource Manager? I have tried Visual CV, but for my taste it caters more to high executives.

But in a labor market as tight as the current one, with skill sets in both the US and Canada in very high demand, I have to agree with Ian that there isn't much added value on the Visual CV. Once past the initial screening process perhaps but, IMHO, for first impressions the basics of what, where, and why still take precedence. Fair enough, Venkat.

I am rarely outright in disagreement with any view, being all about yin-yang dynamics, but this time, I have to say I am pretty polar in that I think resume 2.0 is the way of the future. The fundamental error in the way you seem to be looking at it is in thinking about HR managers. They are, have always been, and always will be, professional gatekeepers. You'll never get a job through them unless it is in a company growing insanely fast where they need all the candidates they can get. In general, you need to reach behind the "HR firewall" to line managers and employees, and Resume 2.0 gets you there. I’d rebut this, but Seth Godin in this blog post has done it way better.
