As somebody who deals with hiring, who is going to use this exactly?

The only 'benefit' I see is that the crawlers/recruiters can parse your resume easier.

Great for them; usually not so great for you.



Are you kidding? With this, I can more easily skip over those applicants with tons of Java and C++ development experience when I'm looking for a C# developer. No more wasting time on reading resumes with completely unrelated experience!


Why would I be kidding?

You are just backing up my point that recruiters will use it to grab your data and filter you like a product.

There is absolutely no benefit to you as an engineer. Quality / noise ratio is the issue here.
