CV & resume standards in Russia

This is the live market data our scanner applies when a resume targets Russia — not an opinion piece. The local document is the Резюме; here is what employers there actually expect.

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

A formal head-and-shoulders portrait is customary; hh.ru lists it among recommended resume elements.

Personal data conventions

DOB commonly included; marital status voluntary and increasingly advised against; city-level address only.

Market conventions

• • Chronological format standard
• • hh.ru template conventions dominate the domestic market

Check your resume against these standards

The free scan evaluates your resume against Russia's norms automatically — photo expectations, personal-data conventions, length, and the keywords your industry expects.
