My answer: I don’t think it is better but it won’t cause negative impact.

I found this discussion in a voting activity in LinkedIn, there were options, asking opinions whether people would like to add personal address in full in resume. The initiator mentioned, some recruiters may not to select resume with less address information in their screening, because, they need this information to calculate possible commuting time and transporting related allowance for this candidate. However, there were also other kinds of point of views, some also consider work skills, work attitude and suitability are more important than address information, and they will not ignore applicants because of address issue. Besides, there is also personal information security protection concern, thus, it is acceptable if candidates didn’t provide detailed address information.

I’m also a job seeker. I also have concern about personal information protection issue and the necessity of providing my home address in full when I apply for a job. No matter it is a template in job banks in internet or editing my own resume, I only provide the city I live in. Regarding personal information protection, all the company would say their protection mechanism is complete, however, sometimes, I received advertising emails or unidentified overseas calls after I applied for jobs online; just like other opinion above, regarding the necessary information, my work skill and work attitude is the first items I want to show first in jobs matching, and only when I go to salary expectation procedure will I talk about live address, and I used to relocate because of work location, I feel shocked to know there are recruiters not to select candidates because of address information incomplete.

In Taiwan, candidates need to fill out companies’ standard personnel information forms before arranged interview, and ID number, address, family members and their jobs…etc. things not related to work are all required. Usually, I remark ［available after on board or hired］, or, I explain my concern in the reply email.

Back to topic of this sharing, I also hope could know：

Q1.What if the work vacancy is a CEO role？　Is the amount of the commuting allowance also significant in the overall hiring budget limit so the recruiters need candidates’ address for amount assessment？

Q2.Is it also a mandatory item in a talent hunting firms recommended profile?

Q3.Mass recruiting vacancies, such as those for fresh graduate( local or non-local), 3 or N months resume collecting period before reviewing, bank clerks, Uber Eats or Food Panda delivery man, and how would the recruiters review so many candidates’ address and calculate hiring cost more efficiently while selecting？

What’s your idea?!
