The situation is worsened by the fact that CVs often do not contain enough information to compare candidates with each other without performing a time-consuming interview. For example, if I see “PostgreSQL” in CV, I cannot understand the actual level of the candidate's skills with Postgres: may he write simple SELECT queries or he may write complex queries with functional indexes. It is a common situation when good developers have very bad CVs.

I may be or may not be guilty of this. Do you have any recommendations on how to avoid this issue? I feel like expanding each skill into a detailed explanation would make my CV too long for a recruiter to read..
