How to Add a QR Code to Your Resume in 2025 (And Why Recruiters Love It)

In a competitive job market, small details make big impressions. One smart move? Adding a QR code to your resume that lets recruiters save your contact info with a single scan.

Unlike sharing your phone number or email in plain text, a vCard QR code is:

• ✅ Professional — no typos or missed digits
• ✅ Private — your info is only shared when scanned
• ✅ Instant — saves directly to their phone’s contact list
• ✅ Memorable — shows you’re tech-savvy and organized

And with QRCodeAI.online, you can create one for free, in seconds, with zero sign-up.

Why Recruiters Prefer QR Codes on Resumes

• Saves time: No manual entry during busy hiring seasons
• Reduces errors: No mistyped emails or swapped digits
• Encourages action: Makes it effortless to follow up
• Works offline: Scannable even at career fairs with poor signal

📌 A 2024 LinkedIn survey found that 68% of recruiters are more likely to contact candidates whose resumes include a scannable contact QR code.

• On the header of your PDF resume

🖨️ Pro Tip: Test your printed QR code with your phone before mass printing!

What Happens When Someone Scans It?

On iPhone or Android, they’ll see a prompt:

“Add [Your Name] as a contact?”

With one tap, your full details are saved — including phone, email, and LinkedIn — ready for the recruiter to call or email you.

Bonus: Use It Beyond Your Resume

• LinkedIn banner: Add a QR code that links to your full portfolio
• Portfolio website: Place it in the footer for easy contact
• Conference name tags: Stand out at networking events
• Email signature: Let clients save your info after a meeting
