Find out about the competition within the talent pool of the resume bank. The larger and better qualified the talent pool, the greater the chance that employers will search the resume bank. Ask if the service can provide you with feedback about the number of times your resume was looked at or selected for review. Another very important consideration when using resume banks is confidentiality. In general, information transmitted by electronic means is similar to sending a postcard.
Every word is available for anyone to read.
Careful consideration is suggested when disclosing personal and current employment information. The depth of your discretion depends on your current employment status and whether your job search must remain under wraps. Before deciding on a particular resume bank, be sure to read the description of security measures offered. Some will charge extra for confidential service. They may offer to replace your name with a number, and your current employer's name can also be removed for your protection.
