QR Codes for Resumes & CVs

A resume QR code lets recruiters jump from your printed or PDF CV to everything a single page can’t hold — your portfolio, LinkedIn, an online version of your CV, or even a short video introduction. It’s a small, professional touch that helps you stand out in a stack of applications and points hiring managers to your strongest work with one scan.

Popular Use Cases

  • Printed resumes and CVs
  • Portfolio links for designers and developers
  • A direct link to your LinkedIn profile
  • Short video introductions
  • Your personal website or online CV

Why Use a QR Code

Show More Than One Page

Point recruiters to a portfolio or full profile that a single resume can’t contain.

Stand Out to Recruiters

A clean, scannable link signals you’re digitally savvy and easy to learn more about.

See If It’s Scanned

Track scans to get a sense of whether your application is being explored further.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a resume QR code link to?

Most job seekers link to a portfolio, a LinkedIn profile, an online version of their CV, or a short video introduction — whatever best showcases their work.

Where do I put the QR code on a resume?

Near your contact details or in a header or footer works well. Keep it a sensible size with clear space around it so it scans cleanly.

Does it work on a printed or PDF resume?

Yes. The code scans from a printed page, and on a digital PDF a reader can scan it from one device with another.

Can I track whether my resume was scanned?

Yes. MetricQR records scans, giving you a sense of whether recruiters are following the link to learn more.
