The big disconnect to me - transferable skills, aspirations and personality factors (such as drive and passion) are overlooked far too often. Yet these are the most important factors to me in a hire. This might be too formulaic, but instead of resumes per se it I'd like to see an in-depth profile that users can create for themselves from a standard form. A large universe of skills are listed…e.g. detailed facets of backend, frontend, databases, entrepreneurship, graphic design, lion taming, hoola hooping…where users note their years of experience, current skill level, and aspirational skill level. Also info on things like their willingness to relocate etc. Demonstrates what they know but also their commitment to learn and grow. Come to think of it standardizing things like this could cut through a lot of bull and disrupt the recruitment industry - companies could search the detailed data to find close matches and approach candidates directly. Hope this helps!
