QR Codes for Resumes free

A resume gives you one or two pages to make a case — a QR code extends it. Place a small code near your header linking to your portfolio, LinkedIn profile, or a project you're proud of, and a recruiter holding the paper version is one scan from your full body of work. It's a subtle signal too: you think about how information travels, not just what it says.

Frequently asked questions

Where should the QR code go on a resume?

Top right corner near your contact details is the common spot. Keep it around 2 x 2 cm with clear space around it, and add a short label like 'Portfolio' so readers know what they'll get.

Can I see if a recruiter actually scanned it?

With a dynamic code, yes — you get scan counts with country and device breakdowns, so you know when a printed resume generated real interest.

Is there a watermark on the code?

No. Codes download clean with no watermark or branding, in both PNG and SVG formats.
