Can an applicant's (current) online profile carry more weight than a resume, which often outlines the past?

“If your online impression matches your offline impression (CV, motivation and personal impression) this strengthens the credibility of the candidate. If there are major differences we will advise the candidate to align these as much as possible by, for example, adjusting the security settings and thereby keeping work and private life more separate.”

Wesley Hendriks. Tempo Team:

“In our field (recruitment and selection) networking is crucial. Whether this is with (potential) clients or job seekers, networking is part of it! Social media are ideally suited for networking. A large (and relevant) network is a huge advantage for us. The (online) social, communication skills are also demonstrated by someone who is active on social media. The disadvantages are mainly in not being active or being active in a non-professional manner. Think again of the above-mentioned examples or a timeline in which someone continuously expresses themselves in an unqualified manner.”

Fleur Okker. Monster board:

“CVs are increasingly focused on the future these days. In the past, a CV was a list of (work) iran telegram data experiences from the past. Nowadays, the CV increasingly consists of core qualities and competencies, acquired knowledge, but above all the future expectations and wishes of the candidate. What suits him, what is he looking for, both in terms of work challenge and in an employer? What are the points of attention and what does he still want to learn?
