Even if one is able to build a rock solid format for CVs/resumes that is queryable, including i18n support, there is still the issue of adoption which is the hard part.

You'll need early adoption by large employers such as big tech companies to governments for it to have potential to reach critical mass and make you become an acquisition target by Applicant Tracking System vendors.

The formats exist already, and the ATSs use them: cf HRXML.

The problem - poorly solved by Burning Glass, Daxtra, TextKernel, Sovren et al is converting documents applicants pass in to those formats.
