Recruitment has always involved the exchange of emails, with resume attachments sometimes in Word and sometimes in PDF. Emails may end up in the inbox or find their way into the spam folder. With increased scrutiny on emails, the process has become more challenging when it comes to job applications.
The question arises: can the industry shift towards only checking profiles via links rather than reviewing attachments?

The statement "Recruitment has always been an exchange of emails, resume attachments, sometimes in Word, sometimes in PDF" is not agreed upon in the current scenario. While this is the scene in major IT industries, the traditional manufacturing and service industries continue in the old mode of hard copy applications and correspondence by post, using electronic media to varying extents depending on the IT readiness of the industrial unit concerned. The utility of the profile verification via LinkedIn is not readily acceptable across the industry segments, and a little more time is to be given to evolve to higher levels of usage of digital technology/IT. Maybe, by the beginning of the next decade, this may become a reality.
