My name is Matteo and I'm a cloud solution architect and tech enthusiast. In my spare time, I work on open source software as much as I can. I simply enjoy writing software that is actually useful.
Yes, yes absolutely. I omitted this part because I didn't think it was relevant, but the CVs I get sent are for people I have to assess. I usually put candidates in technical situations they are not super comfortable (for example, I had many candidates who have never done Test Driven Development, and with those, we try implementing some simple feature using this methodology) to see how they work out something new.
I, of course, don't stop at the CV and meet them personally during the assessment. The HR staff is also in charge of evaluating their human side. But the fact that I don't have unnecessary clutter to dig through when reading the CV means I have a lot less bias during the first screening.

Well, I would hope you have bias toward at least the appearance of competence in the field in which the candidate would be working.
