Usage of uploading resume to a databank by the European labour force

When we look into the usage op uploading the resume to a databank, we see that the situation is even more diverse compared to job boards (1% – 47%). In Estonia, a country were job boards are less used, 47% uses this method to search for a job. The Portuguese labour force indicate that they barely upload their resume to a database (1%). However, 38% of the Portuguese labour force uses job boards in their search. And aren’t using a job board and uploading a resume to a resume database (which is in most cases a job board) the same?

On almost every job board, your resume can be uploaded.

In Slovenia (32%) and the Czech Republic (35%), these percentages are the lowest.
