Despite what we’ve all been told about the importance of our resumes, the true fact about them nowadays is that they are virtually useless as a job hunting tool because nobody takes the time to read them. Big data has stepped in to replace the resume as the primary feature in the job search. Sites like LinkedIn are important, but only a small piece of the puzzle.

- 2Today it constitutes about 10% of the data used by HR pros to pick a new hire.
