The problem is that employers actually believe you can glean something useful from a resume. In my hiring experience, the quality of a resume is very rarely correlated with the quality of the candidate.

The majority of the time candidates look much better on paper than in person. I gave up the belief long ago that resumes can be filtered meaningfully.

We are not announced publicly yet, but I'm working with a partner on a project called GeekRez (http://geekrez.com) which is trying to solve the problem you mention. There is some info up and you can sign up for notices, and we're planning on a beta soon.

Resumes are not the future of search for devs. Hiring managers want to see other things beyond your self-assessed experience levels and a laundry list of buzzwords. GeekRez aggregates data from a handful of places like GitHub and/or BitBucket, Stack Overflow, Meetup, LinkedIn as well as other relevant links a job seeker would provide (publications, blogs, etc.).

This is all brought into a single page with collapsible tabs as a public profile for a potential employer (or even someone you might be doing a side project with) to review.

Devs can use it as a way to differentiate themselves from the competition and show off the strength of these accounts - obviously there would be no advantage for devs that have weak associated accounts to use the service.

It is also set up so a manager could view several profiles side-by-side, to compare say 5 candidate profiles at once. Instead of looking at 5 PDFs and clicking on a handful of URLs in each PDF to get the full picture, it's all brought together on one screen.

Feel free to check it out now, whether you are a dev or someone who will be hiring them. I'll post about it here on HN when we launch officially.
